Purpose


GSMSTS	(wkid, stdnr, mstr, lostr, str)

APL code	1389
GKS RCP code	X'38005C00' (939547648)

Function: To sample string.

Input function. Obtains sample mode input from a string input device at a workstation. If your program is written in FORTRAN IV or VS FORTRAN, use the function Sample string (FORTRAN only) (GSMST) instead. (See the section "GDDM-GKS restrictions" below.)

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 in str.

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

str (returned by GDDM) (character)
The string.

Operating states

WSOP, WSAC, SGOP
