<p>The Read Modified Alternate (QsnReadMDTAlt) API reads the contents of all
modified fields on the screen, alternate form, requiring an AID-generating key
to be pressed. The QsnReadMDTAlt API is functionally equivalent to the
QsnReadMDT API with the following exceptions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Leading and embedded nulls within the fields remain nulls. However,
trailing nulls are stripped off.</li>
<li>For fields consisting entirely of nulls, but with their MDT bit on, only
the field's address is returned.</li>
</ul>
<p>See <a href="QsnReadMDT.htm">Read Modified Fields (QsnReadMDT) API</a> for
details.</p>
<p>This command corresponds directly to the 5250 Read MDT Alternate
command.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None</p>
<br>
<h3>Restrictions</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Some control units, like those emulated by the Client Access program, do not
support a control character associated with input commands. For such units, the
control character specified would be ignored. A program could cause further
actions to be suspended if, for example, the control character byte 2 specified
to unlock the keyboard and this action was not specified elsewhere in the data
stream. If the underlying control unit does not support a control character
with input commands, you must specify the action to perform using the QsnWTD
API.</p>
<br>
<h3>Required Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Control character byte 1</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(1)
<p>The operation for the display to perform after the read operation has been
serviced. See <a href="dsm1e.htm#HDRCC">Control Characters</a> for a
description of the control character values.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Control character byte 2</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(1)
<p>The operation for the display to perform after the read operation and
control character byte 1 have been serviced. See <a href="dsm1e.htm#HDRCC">
Control Characters</a> for a description of the control character values.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Omissible Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Field count</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>The variable that will contain the number of input fields read after the
QsnReadMDTAlt 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.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Input buffer handle</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>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 <a href="QsnRtvFldDta.htm">Retrieve
Pointer to Field Data (QsnRtvFldDta) API</a> and <a href="QsnRtvFldDtaLen.htm">
Retrieve Length of Field Data in Buffer (QsnRtvFldDtaLen) API</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Command buffer handle</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>A handle for the command buffer in which to store the command.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Low-level environment handle</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>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.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Error code</strong></dt>
<dd>I/O; CHAR(*)
<p>The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the
structure, see <a href="../apiref/error.htm#hdrerrcod">Error Code Parameter</a>. If this
parameter is omitted, diagnostic and escape messages are issued to the
application.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Returned Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Field count</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>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, returns zero if successful, or -1 otherwise.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
