Help with batch process please

[taylormade]

I have constructed a batch process (just a simple one to try to make one work).
I am using MFG/Pro ver 8.5h.
I find the instruction for getting the components established to be a bit confusing but have done my best.
When I try to run it I get and error:
"Attempt to write with no current output destination (516)"

Can someone please walk me thru the steps and be specific with how the
process works to batch the running of a report or program with "file" as the output?

Hi!

(Error 516) in the Help:
---
Batch PROGRESS jobs, (that is, those run with the -b option) have no stdin or stdout data streams. You must provide an output destination, either with OUTPUT TO or OUTPUT THROUGH, before executing a statement, such as DISPLAY, that would cause output to be written.
---
is this correct?
