Argument

 

prompt

   OpenVMS usage:character string
   type:         string descriptor
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference
   A string that must begin with "cr,lf". For example, to produce
   the standard user name prompt, use your language equivalent of
   the following BLISS value:

    UPLIT(12,UPLIT BYTE(CR,LF,'Username: '))

   Declare the string in C using the following statement:

   $DESCRIPTOR(<variable_name>, "lrlnUsername:")

   You then pass the descriptor using the variable name.

   This routine also produces the standard user name prompt if you
   pass the value 0 for this argument.
