NM and CM callable. Prints a character string on the system console and solicits a reply. Syntax | |
I16 CA I16V I16V
length:=PRINTOPREPLY(message,length,zero,
CA I16V
reply,maxlength);
|
Functional Return | |
- length
16-bit signed integer (assigned functional return) Passes the length of the reply from the system operator.
This length represents a half word count if maxlength is
positive or a byte count if maxlength is negative. If maxlength is zero, then this intrinsic does not solicit a reply. If an error occurs, the value returned is zero. The length parameter can be zero, in
which case only the standard message prefix is written on the system console
. If both length and maxlength are zero,
then CCL (1) is returned.
Parameters | |
- message
character array (required) Passes the characters that are output to the system console.
The character string is limited to 50 characters, additional
characters are ignored.
- length
16-bit signed integer by value (required) The length of the output string to be transmitted. If length is
positive, the length is in half words; if negative, the length is in
bytes. Do not specify a length of >50 bytes.
- zero
16-bit signed integer by value (required) Do not specify this parameter, but maintain parameter position with a
value of 0.
- reply
character array (required) Returns the input characters read from the system console. - maxlength
16-bit signed integer by value (required) The maximum length of the message to be read into
the reply parameter. If the expected length is positive, it
specifies a half word count; if negative, it specifies a byte count.
Do not specify a length of >31 bytes.
Condition Codes | |
- CCE (2)
Request granted. - CCG (0)
Not returned. - CCL (1)
Request denied. A physical I/O error occurred. Further
error analysis through the FCHECK intrinsic is not possible.
