- Hello out there. I have a quick question. Is there any way to get a command
- procedure to read a single key stroke without the user having to hit
- enter/return. This would be useful under several conditions. Also can you read
- arrow keys under DCL command procedures. The READ and INQUIRE commands
- seem to insist on waiting for a carriage return to be hit. I haven't found
- a way around that. Any sugggestions?
-
- (P.S. I know you can do this easily via any programing language like Macro,
- C, etc I want to know if it can be done strictly from DCL command procedures.)
