ConverseVar

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.
