VAXTPU SET(OUTPUT_FILE) — VMS 5.2

 SET(OUTPUT_FILE)

 Specifies the output file for a buffer.  On exiting, if the buffer has
 been modified and is not set to no-write, VAXTPU writes out the buffer
 using the output file specification.

 Syntax

    SET (OUTPUT_FILE, buffer, string)

 Parameters

    buffer     The buffer for which you want to set an output file
               specification.

    string     The output file specification for the buffer.  By default,
               the output file specification is the same as the input file
               specification (if any), with a version number one greater.


 Example

 The following statements set the output file specification for the paste
 buffer to LATEST_CUTS.TXT and write out the paste buffer to that file:

    SET (OUTPUT_FILE, paste_buffer, "latest_cuts.txt");
    WRITE_FILE (paste_buffer);
