<p>The Read from Virtual Terminal (QTVRDVT) API reads data from the virtual
|
||
|
|
terminal into the server program's data buffer. Your application should read
|
||
|
|
data only if it has received an asynchronous notification message on the data
|
||
|
|
queue, or if the more data flag was set on a previous read operation. The data
|
||
|
|
received is in 5250 data stream format.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Only one full-screen display of data can be received at a time. If the data
|
||
|
|
buffer is too small, partial displays are received and the more data flag for
|
||
|
|
the QTVRDVT API's read information parameter is set to 1.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Before working with 5250 data streams, be sure to see the <cite>
