Perhaps this text (manual, SET CONSOLE) explains your situation.

"Important An error always sets SET CONSOLE to ON. Use SYS(100) to check the SET CONSOLE setting before the error occurred. For more information, see SYS(100) – Console Setting."

I suggest you explicitly turn SET CONSOLE OFF before using a command which you want to output only to the printer or file. For instance, my output commands frequently look like this:

SET ALTERNATE TO output.txt
SET ALTERNATE ON
SET CONSOLE OFF
? "Several output commands would usually replace this single line"
SET ALTERNATE OFF
SET ALTERANTE TO
SET CONSOLE ON

You could save the set("console") setting, but I assume, in my programs, that the "normal" setting is ON, so I temporarily turn it OFF and then ON again.
