SendString

Description

Copies a string into the PASSPORT terminal emulation screen, to later be sent back to the host mainframe

Syntax

ret = SendString (row, column, string)

Parameters

ret	Integer, output
	0 = OK
	Non Zero = Error

row	Integer, Input
	The starting row position in the PASSPORT screen.

column	Integer, Input
	The starting column position in the PASSPORT screen.

string	String, Input
	The string to copy into the PASSPORT terminal emulation screen.

Remarks

This function copies a string into the PASSPORT terminal emulator screen at the specified row and column position. Row 1 column 1 indicates the home position in the upper left corner of the screen.

Strings should only be copied into unprotected fields. When copied into an unprotected field, the MDT (Modified Data Tag) is set in that field so that the data is transmitted to the host whenever the ENTER key or other inbound AID key is sent.

This is a PASSPORT function.

Example

Sub ZMain()
SendString 20,3,"abc123"
End Sub

This example copies the string abc123 into the PASSPORT terminal emulation screen starting at row 20 column 3.
