Writing to a file with CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUTF();

sharpeMar 30 2015 — edited Mar 30 2015

I'm getting some strange output when using the client_text_io.putf() function in webutil to write to a file. My intended output is a line of code for a statistical language known as SAS and the % and & are critical to that code running properly. However, in the output it appears to replace the '%s' with 'null'.

Here's my code:

CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUTF(MYFILE,'%syslput parm1=&parm1;');

Here's my UNexpected result:

nullyslput parm1=&parm1;

Here's my expected result:

%syslput parm1=&parm1;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
