Program Summary

The following is a summary of the utilities provided within the Input Subsystem:

Utility

Description

_lkeymap.utl

Loads the keymap by reading the file BBKMAP. Prior to initializing the Toolkit keymap, this utility saves the keyboard mapping and loads the standard input parameter template !INPUT.TPL.

_ekeymap.utl

Maps function and application keys for common actions such as HELP, SEARCH, and CANCEL to match their own personal preferences. These functions are then available to all of the standard Toolkit input routines.

_ninput.utl

The primary input utility used by the EUS Toolkit. It is a field-oriented input utility that provides expanded capabilities beyond INPUTE and INPUTN. It also provides expanded masking, input formatting, and the ability to link to online Help functions.

_rstold.utl

Allows the application to switch back to the original keyboard mapping prior to invoking _lkeymap.utl.

_rsteus.utl

Restores the Toolkit keyboard environment without reinitializing the keymap.

_yesno.utl

Allows developers to pass a specific prompt string and receive a yes or no value.
