Purpose


GQSTSS	(wkid, stdnr, mstr, mldr, errind, mode, esw, lostr, istr, pet, earea, buflen, inipos, ldr, datrec)

APL code	1489
GKS RCP code	X'3800C000' (939573248)

Function: To inquire string device state.

Inquiry function. Returns values giving the state of a string device at a workstation, from the workstation state list. If your program is written in FORTRAN IV or VS FORTRAN, use the function Inquire string device state (FORTRAN only) (GQSTS) instead.

Parameters

wkid (specified by user) (fullword integer)
The workstation identifier.

stdnr (specified by user) (fullword integer)
The string device number.

mstr (specified by user) (fullword integer)
The maximum number of characters that can be returned in the istr parameter.

mldr (specified by user) (fullword integer)
The dimension of the data record array datrec.

errind (returned by GDDM) (fullword integer)
The error indicator.

mode (returned by GDDM) (fullword integer)
The operating mode. The only possible value is:

0 (GREQU): Request

esw (returned by GDDM) (fullword integer)
The echo switch. The possible values are:

0 (GNECHO): No echo
1 (GECHO): Echo

lostr (returned by GDDM) (fullword integer)
The number of characters returned in istr.

istr (returned by GDDM) (character)
The initial string.

pet (returned by GDDM) (fullword integer)
The prompt and echo type (1 ... n).

earea (returned by GDDM) (array of short floating-point numbers)
The echo area in device coordinates (XMIN, XMAX, YMIN, YMAX).

buflen (returned by GDDM) (fullword integer)
The maximum input buffer size.

inipos (returned by GDDM) (fullword integer)
The initial cursor position.

ldr (returned by GDDM) (fullword integer)
The number of array elements used in the data record array datrec.

datrec (returned by GDDM) (array of 80-byte character tokens)
The data record array.

Operating states

WSOP, WSAC, SGOP

Related functions

Description

If the inquired information is available, it is returned as output, and errind is returned as 0 (zero). If the inquired information is not available, all output is invalid, and errind returns an error indicator.

Principal errors

7: GKS not in proper state: GKS shall be in one of the states WSOP, WSAC, or SGOP
20: Specified workstation identifier is invalid
25: Specified workstation is not open
38: Specified workstation is neither of category INPUT nor of category OUTIN
140: Specified input device is not present on workstation
2001: Output parameter size insufficient
