CBL_EVENT_POST

Posts the specified event.

Note: This routine is not supported in JVM COBOL.

Syntax:

call "CBL_EVENT_POST" using by value event-handle

Parameters:

  Using call prototype (see Key) Picture
event-handle cblt-pointer usage pointer.

On Entry:

event-handle The event handle.

On Exit:

return-code A value of 0 indicates that the call was successful. Any other value indicates an error. See RETURN-CODE Values For Synchronization Routines

Comments:

If any threads are waiting for the event to be posted in the CBL_EVENT_WAIT call, they are all allowed to run and hence return from their CBL_EVENT_WAIT calls. The call has no effect if the event was already posted. The call returns zero for success.

Behavior is undefined if event-handle is invalid.
