Dear Silverfrost forum members:
Despite my including all of the necessary code in my programs, including the output statements, once I run my programs, there is no output! What am I doing wrong? I am running Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit as an operating system. Thank you.

Please show a few of the file access and I/O statements. State how you build and run the program. Then, after seeing the details, we may be able to tell you what else to try.

In particular are you creating a "console" application and are you running the program from a "Command prompt" window or from a IDE such as Visual Studio or Plato?

A console application run from Windows Explorer or Visual Studio may not pause to allow you to see the results.

Alternatively, put a PAUSE statement in your program just before the STOP statement and see if you can see the output. Direct all program control to the PAUSE statement (stated another way, only allow one way out of the program).
