Notes on Using This Function
- An EAB can be returned when the Set Session Parameters (9) function EAB option is used. EAB is related to each character in the presentation space and is returned following each character.
- The Copy Presentation Space to Clipboard function
is affected by the following options:
- ATTRB/NOATTRB/NULLATTRB
- EAB/NOEAB
- XLATE/NOXLATE
- BLANK/NOBLANK
- DISPLAY/NODISPLAY
- PUTEAB/NOPUTEAB
- EXTEND_PS/NOEXTEND_PS
- The data string buffer is used in processing the data retrieved
from presentation space and copy to clipboard. If the data string
buffer provided is not large enough to hold the requested number of
bytes, the copy ends successfully (RC=0, 4, or 5) when the end of
the data string buffer is reached. As previously stated, the return
of attributes by the various Copy (5, 8, and
34) functions is affected by the Set Session Parameters
(9) function. The involved set session parameters have the following
effect:
Set Session Parameter
Effect on the Copy Function
NOEAB and NOEAD
Attributes are not returned. Only text is copied from the presentation space to the clipboard.
EAB and NOXLATE
Attributes are returned as defined in the following tables.
EAB and XLATE
The colors used for the presentation space display are returned. Colors can be remapped, so the attribute colors are not the ones returned by the Copy functions when XLATE and EAB are on at the same time.
