High-Level Language Application Programming Interface
4-41
25 Specifies that the requested keystrokes are not available
on the input queue.
31 Specifies that the keystroke queue overflowed and
keystrokes were lost.
Remarks
The GET KEY function behaves as a read command. When keystrokes are available, they
are read into the data string you provide with the GET KEY function. User keystrokes are
queued by HLLAPI. The GET KEY function dequeues these keystrokes and returns them to
the requester one at a time. The GET KEY function is affected by the NWAIT/LWAIT/TWAIT
session options. See session option 8 in SET SESSION PARAMETERS (9).
You can use the SEND KEY (3) function to pass both original keystrokes and any other
keystrokes that your HLLAPI application wants to send to the target presentation space.
Refer to the Keyboard Mnemonics table for a listing of supported keystroke values.
