7.104 REQUEST

The REQUEST command allows the user to input information at a workstation.

The REQUEST command is only valid in RDMLX functions when being used on the Web. If it is used elsewhere a fatal error occurs at runtime. If this occurs, either put your REQUEST command in an RDML function or use a Form to show user information.

Portability Considerations

Refer to parameters: FIELDS,
IGCCNV_KEY, OPTIONS, SHOW_NEXT, and TEXT.
