The Read Modified Immediate Alternate (QsnReadMDTImmAlt) API reads the contents of all modified fields on the display without requiring an AID-generating key to be pressed. Processing for this API is the same as for the Read Immediate (QsnReadImm) API, except that data is returned only for those fields that have the MDT bit on. The format of the data returned is the same as for the Read Modified Alternate (QsnReadMDTAlt) API.
See Read Immediate (QsnReadImm) API and Read Modified Alternate (QsnReadMDTAlt) API for details.
This command corresponds directly to the 5250 Read MDT Immediate Alternate command.
This command is not supported by all control units. A CPFA306 error occurs if an attempt is made to issue this command to a control unit that does not support it.
None
The variable that contains the number of input fields read after the QsnReadMDTImmAlt API has completed if a direct operation is specified. The parameter is not modified for an indirect operation and the value remains unchanged from whatever was passed.
A handle for the input buffer that receives the result of the input operation if a direct operation is specified. The result can be queried using the input buffer query operations. See Retrieve Pointer to Field Data (QsnRtvFldDta) API and Retrieve Length of Field Data in Buffer (QsnRtvFldDtaLen) API.
A handle for the command buffer in which to store the command.
The low-level environment that the operation applies to. If this parameter is omitted or given with a value of zero, the default low-level environment is used.
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter. If this parameter is omitted, diagnostic and escape messages are issued to the application.
This API returns the value for the field count parameter if a direct operation was specified, or -1 if an error occurs during processing. If this is an indirect operation, this API returns zero if successful, or -1 otherwise.
