System Variables

&SYS.PANEL.INPUTP The &SYS.PANEL.INPUTP system variable contains the value specified with the
command SYSPARMS SPINPUTP. This is the value for the PAD operand in a panel
input field.
&SYS.PANEL.INPUTP
Considerations
If the terminal supports the underlining of input fields, the value of this system
variable is NULL; it can not be changed. If the terminal does not support the
underlining of input fields, &SYS.PANEL.INPUTP contains the underscore
character (_), which can be changed.
A new value can be assigned to this variable only by using the command
SYSPARMS SPINPUTP. See the example that follows.
An attempt to change this variable to an invalid value produces an error. A valid
value is any single character except the space character.
See the panel statement #FLD in Section 6, “Panel Control Statements.”
See also the other system variables that relate to panels. They all begin with the
letters &SYS.PANEL.
Example
The following example displays the &SYS.PANEL.INPUTP system variable and shows
how it might be changed. Initially it is NULL; after the change it remains NULL
because the terminal supports the underlining of input fields.
PROC:PROCEDURE
SAY "&SYS.PANEL.INPUTP = " &SYS.PANEL.INPUTP
INTCMD "SYSPARMS SPINPUTP=_"
INTREAD
INTCONT
SAY "&SYS.PANEL.INPUTP NOW = " &SYS.PANEL.INPUTP
