Declaration

Source position: system.fpd line 73

procedure WriteLn(

  V1: Type1

  V1: Type1;

  V2: Type2;

  V3: Type3

);

procedure WriteLn(

  var F: Text;

  V1: Type1

);

procedure WriteLn(

  var F: Text;

  V1: Type1;

  V2: type2

);

procedure WriteLn(

  var F: Text;

  V1: Type1;

  V2: Type2;

  V3: Type3

);

Description

WriteLn does the same as Write for text files, and emits a Carriage Return - LineFeed character pair after that. If the parameter F is omitted, standard output is assumed. If no variables are specified, a newline character sequence is emitted, resulting in a new line in the file F.

Remark: The newline character is determined by the slinebreak constant.
Remark: When writing string variables, no codepage conversions are done. The string is copied as-is to the file descriptor. In particular, for console output, it is the programmer's responsibility to make sure that the codepage of the string matches the codepage of the console.

More details can be found in the Write description.

Errors

If an error occurs, a run-time error is generated. This behavior can be controlled with the {$I} switch.
