The qualifier ConverseVar can precede the name of each EGL system variable listed in the next table. These variables are useful primarily in textUI applications.
System variable | Description |
---|---|
commitOnConverse | Specify whether a commit and a release of resources occurs in a text application, before a non-segmented program issues a converse. The default value is 0 (meaning no) for non-segmented programs and 1 (meaning yes) for segmented programs. |
eventKey | Identifies the key that the user pressed to return a text form to an EGL program |
printerAssociation | Allows you to specify, at run time, the output destination when you print a print form. |
segmentedMode | Used in a text application to change the effect of the converse statement, but the variable is ignored for this purpose in called programs. |
validationMsgNum | Contains the value assigned by ConverseLib.validationFailed in a text application, so you can determine if a validation function reported an error. |
