Is it possible to print some calculations without using any tables?

Say I have some code like this. Can I create a report just to print these values? That way I can test some calculations based on current date without involving any tables yet.

-SET &WORKDATE = AYMD(&YYMD,0,'I8YYMD') ;
-SET &SAVEDATE=EDIT(&WORKDATE,'99999999$');
-SET &TIME8A = 'A2345678' ;
-SET &TIME8A = HHMMSS(&TIME8A) ;
-SET &TIMEBGN = &TIME8A ;
-SET &TIME6A = EDIT(&TIME8A,'99$99$99$');
-SET &SAVEDTTM= &SAVEDATE || '_' || &TIME6A;
-SET &SAVPATH = 'D:\file_' ;
-SET &HISTNAME = &SAVPATH || &SAVEDTTM || '.XLS' ;
END
-RUN

Josh,

If all you want to do is see the & output then I would use the -TYPE command. like this:
-TYPE WORKDATE --> &WORKDATE
-TYPE SAVEDATE --> &SAVEDATE
-TYPE TIME8A   --> &TIME8A
-TYPE TIMEBGN  --> &TIMEBGN
-TYPE SAVEDTTM --> &SAVEDTTM
-TYPE SAVPATH  --> &SAVPATH
-TYPE HISTNAME --> &HISTNAME

If you start with

-SET &ECHO=ON;
You can see what you get

And the END command is here useless .
