ILE COBOL Language Reference

CONSOLE Clause

If CONSOLE IS CRT is specified, any ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement that has no phrases specific to a particular format (such as LOCAL-DATA or PIP-DATA), is treated as an extended ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement.

Similarly, if CONSOLE IS DISPLAY is specified, any ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement that has no phrases specific to a particular format is treated as a request to the dynamic screen manager session services APIs. For information on theses APIs, see the CL and APIs section of the Programming category in the iSeries Information Center at this Web site -http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter.

                 '-IS-'  '-DISPLAY-'
 
 

Notes:

  1. IBM Extension

If no CONSOLE IS clause is specified, any ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement that has no phrases specific to a particular format is treated as a standard ANSI COBOL ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement.

See the Extended ACCEPT and Extended DISPLAY Considerations and the Format 3 - Extended DISPLAY Statement for descriptions of the conditions which determine whether ACCEPT or DISPLAY statements are extended or standard.
