*IOCANCELCHAR={value}

The *IOCANCELCHAR control reports the current default setting of the cancel character support for the current PLB program and load modules. {value} is a character string variable that contains the cancel character as described below. If the cancel character support is not in use, value will be a null string. This program default setting is reset to the runtime default value after a CHAIN instruction is executed.

{value} can be a single key for a character or a key name. The following key names are supported:

ESC, ESCAPE

F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10
