Absolutelly not. The program you sent is not what i want to write in LabVIEW.

The broader question is why? LabVIEW is great for many things, but writing console programs is not one of them.
ok people, Dos was a reference point. I mean I'm just trying to find out what i can do using LabVIEW and what i can't do. I was curious about if there is some limitation on LabVIEW that stops me from creating very different things than just creating programs about measurements and data acquisition. I think you would agree that a programing language can be considered a kitchen, and if you are a good chef then you can create anything you want. So what if I want to create an operating system in LabVIEW. It's so obvious that i would need to start by a console program which doesn't need another operating system to run. It must run alone.
You all are making me think that I cannot create a program in Labview that runs alone without needing anything else to run. And that all the programs I write need Windows to run. Are these true? if so can we say that LabVIEW is not one of those programing languages that are considered a kitchen and you can only create windows based programs in LabVIEW(or another GUI operating system like Linux)?
