    Syntax

    -output filename|*Select*

    Description

    Specify the location where the document output will be written, either a path/file name, a physical device such as LPT1:, or a network path. Note that the filename may include placeholders for various date-time-related elements, and also for dynamic field values. The output location can also be specified dynamically using the printer.setOutputFile() function, typically in the Start next Print Driver event script for a Form object. Further, the output location can be defined in the <Outputfile> tag of the printer configuration file (.prt).

    For a WIN configuration file (Default-WIN.prt), using *Select* will cause Merge to prompt for a printer.

    For more details see _printer.setOutputFile() function.
