Print Stream Commands Overview

Print stream commands let you control document processing from within the rule file. There are four print stream commands:

  • <OUTPUT>

    Do not confuse the <OUTPUT> print stream command with the Output group.

  • <APPEND>
  • <BANNER>
  • <FILEBREAK>
Print stream commands interact with the logical flow of EngageOne™ Enrichment. Therefore, their use is limited to certain sections of the rule file because these sections are processed at specific points in the EngageOne™ Enrichment flow. The table below lists the sections in which each print stream command can be used.
