PREPARE-TO-CLOSE Reply Screen Description
Return Code
Displays the value of the verb reply RETURN-CODE in decimal followed by text.
System Error
Is a computational qualifier for RETURN-CODE. This screen line displays the
SYSTEM-ERROR-CODE value of the verb reply—first in decimal, next in
hexadecimal, and followed by text.
If RETURN-CODE is RC-SYNTAX-ERROR, the SYSTEM-ERROR-CODE indicates
the ordinal position of the parameter in error discounting the verb code and
session ID. If the verb causes an SNA negative response from the session
partner, the first two bytes of the negative response are returned here.
User Error
Is a computational qualifier for SYSTEM-ERROR-CODE. At present, this field is
used only for the last two bytes of negative SNA responses and LUSTAT
messages. The screen line displays the field first in decimal and next in
hexadecimal.
Retry Action
Indicates whether an unsuccessful request should be retried. The screen line
displays the decimal value for this indicator followed by text.
Prnt: Print Screen (F13) Function key 13, the PRNT key, causes the APS SCOBOLX program to issue a
SCOBOLX PRINT SCREEN command. The current screen image is copied to the
spooler using the values supplied from the Pathway configuration file. The standard
APS system delivered with SNAX/HLS directs the print to $S.#APS. Users are free to
customize the configuration file to conform to local requirements.
To retrieve the screen from the spooler and place it into an EDIT file, perform the
following steps:
1. Print the APS screen; this places the screen in the spooler system.
2. Remove the job from the spooler and place it into the edit file APSCRN:
>PERUSE
-<select job>
-L edit /OUT APSCRN/ F/L
Now the APS screen is viewable with an editor in the file APSCRN.
