A-Shell Consolidated Reference

ECHO <text>

ECHO functions similarly to the Unix and Windows command of the same name. It offers similar functionality to the command file ":<  ... >" mechanism, but is more flexible and powerful, supporting the full range of special $ variables (which otherwise only work within DO files) and environment variables (e.g. %MIAME%).

Examples

ECHO Your job name is $NJ

ECHO The MIAME directory is %MIAME%

AGCMD/K0/S BROWSEFOLDER

ECHO You selected folder $KBD0
