| Description |
reads the calling PROCs primary input buffer and assigns its contents to a specified variable.
When successful, the variable is treated as a string of characters delimited by spaces. The "field" function may be used to parse the variable. The "dcount" function may be used to determine the number of entries (number of spaces + 1) in the buffer variable. The "else" condition is taken when the program has not been executed from a PROC. |
