Arguments

 

keyboard-id

   OpenVMS usage:identifier
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Receives the keyboard identifier of the newly created virtual
   keyboard. The keyboard-id argument is the address of an unsigned
   longword into which is written the keyboard identifier.
 

input-device

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   String containing the file specification or logical name of the
   file or terminal to be used for this virtual keyboard. The input-
   device argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the
   file specification. If omitted, this defaults to SYS$INPUT.
 

default-filespec

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   String containing the default file specification. The default-
   filespec argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the
   default file specification. If omitted, the null string is used.

   The default-filespec argument might be used to specify a default
   device and directory, leaving the input-device argument to supply
   the file name and type.
 

resultant-filespec

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   String into which the procedure writes the fully expanded file
   specification of the file used. The resultant-filespec argument
   is the address of a descriptor pointing to the string into which
   is written the file specification that was used.
 

recall-size

   OpenVMS usage:byte_unsigned
   type:         byte (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Number of input lines to be saved for later recall. The optional
   recall-size argument is the address of an unsigned byte
   containing the specified number of lines. A value of 0 turns
   off input line recall. By default, 20 lines are saved for later
   recall.
