/BUFFER/DIALOG/SELECT_RANGE/VISIBLE

/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

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.
