Output (Dataset property)

Indicates whether this dataset is writeable (Dataset class)

This Boolean property indicates whether or not the dataset is an output dataset, that is, whether it is to be written to or not. It is only settable while the object is in the Closed state. An attempt to set it while the dataset is not closed results in request cancellation.

Syntax

%currentBoolean = dataset:Output dataset:Output = newBoolean

Syntax terms

%boolean	A variable to receive the Boolean value that indicates whether or not the dataset is an output dataset, or a variable to be used to set the dataset's output attribute.
%dataset	A reference to an instance of a Dataset object.

Usage notes

• Output is a boolean value, that is, it must be True or False.
• The initial value for Output is False. That is, by default, datasets are input datasets.
