Next: Command Line Decoding
Up: Verb Parameter and
Previous: Define Verb Priority
By default only the first 8 characters of a Verb, Parameter or Qualifier
Name are significant. This Subprogram allows this default to be modified up
to the maximum of 32 characters.
Short Name Calling Sequence
STATUS = UIDFVL(NEWLEN[,OLDLEN])
Long Name Calling Sequence
STATUS = UI_DEFINE_VERB_LENGTH(...)
Input Arguments
NEWLEN (Integer) New Length
Output Arguments
OLDLEN (Integer) Old Length (Optional)
Function Value
UI__SUCCESS ) Success
UISUCC )
UI__NOT_INITIALIZED ) Package not Initialized
UININI )
Note:
- This Subprogram adjusts the significant length for Verbs, Parameters and
Qualifiers simultaneously.
- The NEWLEN Argument specifies the new significant name length. If NEWLEN
is zero or negative, the original default of 8 is restored. IF NEWLEN is
greater than 32 then 32 is assumed.
- The OLDLEN Argument is optional and, if present, will be set to the old
value of the significant length prior to this call.
- It is recommended that an Application Program only calls this Subprogram
once during its initialisation since UIPACK does not check whether any already
existing Verb, Parameter or Qualifier name becomes ambiguous as a result of
this call.
