SCRNINFO

 SCRNINFO 

SCRNINFO returns a two-digit decimal screen height (in lines) in the variable SCRNHT, and returns a

three-digit decimal screen width (in columns) in the variable SCRNWD.

Return Codes

nspecifies the return code passed back by CICS if an error is detected

0Normal return

-499 Internal error

Example

'SCRNINFO'

Notes

1. The screen information that is returned is obtained by doing an EXEC CICS ASSIGN SCRNHT(scrnht)

SCRNWD(scrnwd).

2. The values for screen height and screen width is 0 if there is no terminal attached.
