DEVOUTPICT()

Displays a value to a device using a picture template
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Syntax

        DEVOUTPICT(<xExp>,<cPicture>[,<cColorString>]) --> NIL  

 Arguments

        <xExp>   is any valid expression.      

        <cPicture>   is any picture transformation that TRANSFORM() can 
                  use.

        <cColorString>   is an optional string that specifies a screen 
                  color to use in place of the default color when the
                  output goes to the screen.

 Returns

        NIL    

 Description

      Outputs any expression using a picture transformation instead of
      using the default transformation for the type of expression.

 Examples

      // Output a negative dollar amount using debit notation.
      DEVOUTPICT( -1.25, "@D$ 99,999.99 )

 Tests

      
      @ 3,1 SAY -1.25 PICTURE "@D$ 99,999.99"
      will display "$(     1.25)" starting on row four, column two of the
      current device (without the double quotation marks, of course).
      

Status

      Ready

 Compliance

      DEVOUTPICT() is mostly CA-Clipper compliant. Any differences are due
      to enhancements in the Harbour TRANSFORM() over CA-Clipper.
