The in command prompts for input from the terminal and places it in the secondary input buffer. Contents of the secondary input buffer are destroyed and the buffer pointer is set to the beginning, prior to placing data in the buffer. Leading and trailing blanks are removed and embedded blanks are replaced with a single attribute mark.
Syntax
in{c} |
Parameter(s)
c |
Prompt character that remains in effect until reset with a new in or ip command. (Default is the last prompt character used or a colon, if no other is specified.) |
NOTE |
Because the secondary input buffer has fallen into disuse, the use of the in command in general programming is not recommended. Compare with the ip command. |
