MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual (32650-90877)

Chapter 7 247
Command List V
Commands HEADOFF thru LISTF
ENDWHILE
Table 7-2. on page 247 illustrates how the INPUT command functions.
* The result is an error if the user responds with an
unquoted string:
INPUT BLEEP,>
>ABC Return
SETVAR BLEEP !BLEEP
ABC is not a number. And, without quotes around it, ABC is not a string, either. If ABC is not
a defined variable, it has no value to extract. So, the attempt to evaluate the result of
explicitly dereferencing, !BLEEP produces an error. Refer to the SETVAR command.
