Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual

Parameters
source-string
input, output
INT(32) .EXT:ref:1
is the address of an extended pointer to the source text string to be formatted. Upon return
from the format function, this pointer is advanced to point to the byte following the last byte in
the source string that was successfully processed by the format ITI buffer operation.
destination-string
input, output
INT(32) .EXT:ref:1
is the address an extended pointer to the location to receive the formatted text string. Upon
return from the format function, this pointer is advanced to point to the byte following the last
byte in the destination string that was filled by the format ITI buffer operation.
source-length
input
INT:value
is the length, in bytes, of the source text string.
maximum-length
input
INT:value
is the maximum allowable number of bytes of space usable in the output destination string.
intermediate
input
INT:value
is a logical flag indicating the desired format of the translated data string.
When TRUE, the translated destination text string is in an intermediate form which yields the
final EBCDIC data format after passing the HP standard ASCII/EBCDIC translation routine.
This is the normal form to use for formatting buffers which are then displayed through the HP
SNAX access method.
When FALSE, the translated destination text string is in final EBCDIC format upon completion
of this procedure.
terminal-type
input
INT:value
indicates the terminal type to receive the formatted data:
IBM 3274-series0
IBM Emulation on IBM5550 with lowercase alphabet1
IBM Emulation on IBM5550 with one-byte Katakana2
Fujitsu F-6650/F-6680 with lowercase alphabet4
Fujitsu F-6650/F-6680 with one-byte Katakana5
IBM character attribute device with lowercase alphabet11
IBM character attribute device with one-byte Katakana12
