Function
COMMON DATA AREAS AND SUBROUTINES FOR 3270 DISPLAY SUPPORT
Attributes
SERIALLY REUSABLE, RESIDENT, CALLED VIA BALR
Operation
1. THE CURSOR ADDRESS IS CONVERTED TO AN INPUT AREA OFFSET BY
USING THE ADDRESS RETURNED FROM THE READ AND THE INPUT AREA
DISPLACEMENT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE DISPLAY SCREEN.
2. IF THIS OFFSET IS BEYOND THE LAST TAB POSITION, THE CURSOR
WILL BE PUT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INPUT AREA. OTHERWISE THE
NEXT TAB POSITION IS USED TO POSITION THE CURSOR.
3. THE INPUT DATA IS THEN SCANNED FOR NULLS TO DETERMINE IF A
LOGICAL TAB CHARACTER IS NEEDED. IF A LOGICAL TAB CHARACTER IS
FOUND DURING THE SCAN, THE COUNT IS UPDATED TO THE CORRECT TAB
POSITION. IF A NULL IS FOUND BEFORE THE BUFFER COUNT REACHES
THE NEW TAB OFFSET, A LOGICAL TAB CHARACTER IS PUT IN THE DATA
STREAM - TO BE WRITTEN AT THE END OF THE NON-NULL DATA OR AT
THE TAB LOCATION PRECEDING THE ONE WHERE THE CURSOR WILL BE.
4. THE LENGTH OF THE DATA STREAM BUILT IS PUT INTO REGISTER 2,
THE REGISTERS USED ARE RESTORED, AND THE SUBROUTINE IS EXITED.
