HELPLIB.HLB  —  RTL Routines, SMG$  SMG$INSERT_LINE, Arguments
 display-id

    OpenVMS usage:identifier
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Specifies the virtual display affected. The display-id argument
    is the address of an unsigned longword that contains the display
    identifier.

    The display identifier is returned by SMG$CREATE_VIRTUAL_DISPLAY.

 start-row

    OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
    type:         longword (signed)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Specifies the row number at which the string is inserted and at
    which scrolling begins. The start-row argument is the address of
    a signed longword that contains the row number.

 character-string

    OpenVMS usage:char_string
    type:         character string
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by descriptor

    The character string to be inserted by SMG$INSERT_LINE. The
    character-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing
    to this string.

 direction

    OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Specifies the scrolling direction. The direction argument is
    the address of a longword bit mask that contains the direction
    code. Valid values are SMG$M_UP and SMG$M_DOWN. SMG$M_UP is the
    default.

 rendition-set

    OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Attribute specifier. The optional rendition-set argument is
    the address of a longword bit mask in which each attribute set
    causes the corresponding attribute to be set in the display. The
    following attributes can be specified using the rendition-set
    argument:

    SMG$M_BLINK     Displays blinking characters.
    SMG$M_BOLD      Displays characters in higher-than-normal
                    intensity.
    SMG$M_REVERSE   Displays characters in reverse video; that is,
                    using the opposite of the default rendition of
                    the virtual display.
    SMG$M_          Displays underlined characters.
    UNDERLINE
    SMG$M_          Specifies invisible characters; that is, the
    INVISIBLE       characters exist in the virtual display but do
                    not appear on the pasteboard.
    SMG$M_USER1     Displays user-defined attributes.
    through
    SMG$M_USER8

    The display-id argument must be specified when you use the
    rendition-set argument.

 rendition-complement

    OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Attribute complement specifier. The optional rendition-
    complement argument is the address of a longword bit mask in
    which each attribute set causes the corresponding attribute to
    be complemented in the display. All of the attributes that can
    be specified with the rendition-set argument can be complemented
    with the rendition-complement argument. The display-id argument
    must be specified when you use the rendition-complement argument.

    The optional arguments rendition-set and rendition-complement
    let the user control the attributes of the virtual display. The
    rendition-set argument sets certain virtual display attributes,
    while rendition-complement complements these attributes. If the
    same bit is specified in both the rendition-set and rendition-
    complement parameters, rendition-set is evaluated first, followed
    by rendition-complement. By using these two parameters together,
    the user can control each virtual display attribute in a single
    procedure call. On a single-attribute basis, the user can cause
    the following transformations:

    Set  Complement Action

    0    0          Attribute set to default
    1    0          Attribute on
    0    1          Attribute set to complement of default setting
    1    1          Attribute off

 flags

    OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Optional bit mask that specifies the action to take if the text
    does not fit on the line. The flags argument is the address of an
    unsigned longword that contains the flag. Valid values for flags
    are as follows:

    0                  Does not wrap (the default)
    SMG$M_WRAP_CHAR    Wraps at the last character on the line
    SMG$M_WRAP_WORD    Wraps at the last space on the line

 character-set

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Specifies the default character set for all text in this virtual
    display. The character-set argument is the address of an unsigned
    longword that contains the character set code. Valid values are
    SMG$C_ASCII (the default) and SMG$C_SPEC_GRAPHICS.
