Using AREV 2.12

Trying to turn WORDWRAP ON before user enters multivalued text field. Can do it by running a Subroutine at Pre-Promt which basically does CALL CATALYST("K","{CTRL-W}{DOWN}{CR}{F9}"). However on next entry of multivalued prompt it turns it off as it's toggle.

Any way to check if WORDWRAP ON, then Subroutine calls Catalyst only if it's true or any other solution?

Thanks

Here's another method at 3.12; not sure if this will work (with adjustments) at 2.12.

We call a sub preprompt and postprompt, with an argument (on/off).

In the sub:

$insert SYSINCLUDE,ENVIRON.CONSTANTS

Then…

Case "ON"

 @insert=0 ;* insert line mode off

 @insert=1 ;* line wrap on

Case "OFF"

 @insert=1 ;* insert line mode on

 @insert=0 ;* line wrap off

and so on.

Hope this is what you were looking for, and that there is equivalent functionality in 2.12.

That's exactly what I needed. It works in 2.12 also.

Thanks a lot.
