ACCEPT (AX)
Syntax
ACCEPT (AX)
The ACCEPT; command enables you to pass information to a running Report from the
terminal that initiated the Report. ACCEPT; commands are usually preceded by an
associated MESSAGE; command that prompts for input.
When an ACCEPT; command is encountered, the Report suspends execution until it
receives a reply input from the terminal.
Kanji characters must be entered in Kanji (EDIT; K) fields. If you enter an invalid Kanji
character, GLB.STATUS is set to five asterisks (*****). If you move a mixed alphanumeric
and Hankaku-Katakana value into an EDIT; W data item, the value is moved character by
character, and is truncated to the length of the data item. However, if you move a mixed
alphanumeric and Hankaku-Katakana value into an EDIT; A data item, the value is moved
byte by byte and is truncated to the length of the data item. If the truncation occurs after
the first byte of a double-byte Hankaku-Katakana character, this will result in an invalid
character.
Note: EDIT; W data items are not implemented in LDA.
For full details of LINC Report operations, see your LINC Administration and Operations
Guide for your target host type.
