I've sent it in before, but I put the whole thing up on Pickwiki. Following is the note I put about it. *********************** Here's a subroutine to mimic the INPUT WAITING capability that exists in Unidata. It has all the functionality including duplicating the behaviour of the underscore and colon when specifying the maximum string length. For example, if you want to input three characters for variable THIS, waiting for 10 seconds, requiring a carriage return to signify input but without a line feed, and defaulting to the string "zip"; you would code:
CALL INPUTWAIT(THIS, '3_:', '10', 'zip' ) *********************** Which in Unidata would have been INPUT THIS,3_: FOR 10 ELSE THIS = 'zip' So you can save time by getting the code from http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?InputWait Regards, Keith Johnson Owner/Host www.emeraldglenlodge.co.nz 04 299 3066 ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.u2ug.org/listinfo/u2-users
