Arguments

 

keyboard-id

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

   Keyboard identifier. The keyboard-id argument is the address of
   an unsigned longword containing the identifier of the desired
   virtual keyboard.

   You can create a virtual keyboard by calling the SMG$CREATE_
   VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD routine.
 

row-number

   OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Row number to which the locator is pointing. The row-number
   argument is the address of an unsigned word that contains the row
   number of the virtual display at which the locaor is pointing.
 

column-number

   OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Column number to which the locator is pointing. The column-number
   argument is the address of an unsigned word that contains the
   column number of the virtual display at which the read is to be
   performed.
 

word-terminator-code

   OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Locator terminator code. The word-terminator-code argument is
   the address of an unsigned word into which is written a code
   indicating what locator button terminated the read. Locator
   terminator codes are of the form SMG$K_TRM_keyname.
 

timeout

   OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
   type:         longword (signed)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Timeout count. The optional timeout argument is the address of a
   signed longword that contains a number of seconds. If specified,
   any character typed before the timeout is returned in the buffer.
 

parse-routine

   OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
   type:         longword (signed)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Address of a user-supplied parse routine that is called to parse
   the locator input. The optional parse-routine argument is the
   address of an unsigned longword that contains the parse routine.
   If this argument is not specified, ANSI locator input is assumed.
