WRITELOG text [/Newline … /Newline] WRITELOG format args /Format [/Newline … /Newline]
Write a line to the log window. Use /Clear to empty the log window before text is written.
Format strings (the format when using the /Format option) are described in the topic Format Strings and Rules.
Generally, the arguments to the WRITELOG command are the same as for the WRITE command. Refer to the WRITE documentation for more details.
Instead of the WRITELOG command, you may use the macros LOGMSG or BUTIL LOGMSG, which append some useful information to the text (e.g. the application nameand the date and time of emitting the message).
