/BUFFER

    /BUFFER=buffer-name

 Indicates which buffer is to be written. The default is
 the current buffer.

/DIALOG

 Instructs LSE to use a dialog box to prompt you for a
 parameter value. The command parameter is optional if
 you supply this qualifier. If you specify a command
 parameter with /DIALOG, LSE uses that parameter to set
 the initial state of the dialog box.

/SELECT_RANGE

 Indicates that the selected range is to be written.

/VISIBLE

 Indicates that the visible records in the buffer or
 selected range be written to a file. You must specify
 the file-spec parameter when you use this qualifier.

Parameter

=TITLE Parameter

file-spec
 Specifies the file to which the buffer will be written.
 By default, LSE writes the data to the file associated
 with the buffer. This parameter is required if you
 specify the /SELECT_RANGE qualifier.
