*CRTON (KEYIN)

*CRTON

This list control retrieves data from the CRT into a DIM variable. The retrieved data begins at the current cursor position. Transfer begins with the first physical character in the DIM variable and continues through the Physical Length. This control affects all variables remaining in the list.

If the right most column is executed and the *WRAPON list control is not active, the remaining columns of the variable are blank filled. If the right most column is executed and the *WRAPON list control is active, a CR/LF sequence is executed and the data is retrieved beginning in position 1 of the next line.

If the *ABSON list control is also active, two (2) bytes are retrieved for each actual data character. The first byte is the actual character and the second the attribute byte for that character.

Under MS-DOS, the system must have a RAM video memory for the *CRTON list control to work.

Under Linux, sub-windows must be active for *CRTON to work.
