AGI_MORE
- Return an HDS locator to a MORE structure
- Description:
- An HDS locator that points to a MORE structure in the database
is returned. A MORE structure can be associated with any picture
and it can be used to store any application specific information.
If the given value for PICID is negative then the current picture
is used. If the access mode is 'WRITE' then an empty MORE structure
is created if none existed. If there is an existing structure then
'WRITE' mode will erase the existing contents and return a locator
to an empty structure. If the access mode is 'READ' or 'UPDATE' then
a locator to an existing structure is returned. In this case an
error is returned if there is not a MORE structure for the given
picture. The database is not responsible for what goes in the MORE
structure or how the information is used. The application is also
responsible for annulling the returned locator.
- Invocation:
- CALL AGI_MORE( PICID, ACMODE, MORLOC, STATUS )
