Syntax

FILEONLY | NOFILEONLY

FILEONLY: specifies that a file rather than a storage location is the default destination for graphics output.
NOFILEONLY: specifies that a storage location is the default destination for graphics output, unless a file of the same name exists.

Details

Most devices use FILEONLY as the default. However, devices that require the output destination to be a storage location use NOFILEONLY as the default. For example, the HTML and WEBFRAME devices require a storage location because they produce two types of output (HTML files and GIF image files) that cannot be written to the same file.

To determine what the default is for a particular device, look at the settings for DEVOPTS bits 48 and 49.
