print_line()

Prints the current line as delimited data.

print_line() only prints collected headers. That is, if you use the collect() function to limit the headers you are collecting, print_line() respects that choice.

print_line() will output replaced data if print_line() comes after a replace().

Use the optional arguments to pass a printouts stream, delimiter and/or quotechar. If a quote char is provided it will be used with every header value, regardless of technical need. At this time print_line() does not attempt to guess delimiters and/or quotechars or use quotechars in a proactive way.

Printing to a dedicated printer can help create stand-alone data-ready output. That option is mainly valuable in named-paths group runs where printers' printouts are more clearly separated.
