TSACC - accept contents of TSS KIN buffer.

Usage:

call tsacc(length, message)

Where:

length: represents an integer variable where the length of the input message will be stored.
message: represents a character variable or array where the input message will be stored. For some VIP terminals, this may need to be big enough to hold 1928 bytes. For a normal terminal, the input will not exceed 244 characters including the carriage return.

Description:

This subroutine enables a TSS program to get the uninterpreted contents of the terminal input buffer. It is of particular use in obtaining the command line used to invoke a program, or when working with a VIP terminal in forms mode.

Notes:

Previous message residue remains in the input buffer since the buffer is not initialized prior to the transfer of data to the caller.

Input messages are terminated by a carriage return (octal 015).
