Syntax
I16 CA I16V I16V CA I16V length := PRINTOPREPLY (message, length, zero, 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. |
