LENTER
The LENTER statement assigns all or part of a line of display memory to a
string variable. User input from the keyboard is not accepted.
The assigned string value begins at the cursor position and ends at the
rightmost column for that line in display memory. Commas are read as
characters, not as data item separators.
LENTER interacts in a special way with an active JOINFORM. This is
described in detail in Appendix F.
Syntax
LENTER str_var
Parameters
str_var A string variable that will accept the data. An error
occurs when the input string value exceeds its maximum
length. If this value is a substring, and the input
string value exceeds its length, the input string value
is truncated on the right (no error occurs). See
"Substring References" in chapter 3 for more
information.
