ACUCOBOL-GT format 5 ACCEPT extension.
Format 5
ACCEPT dest-item FROM {ENVIRONMENT} env-name
[ ON EXCEPTION statement-1 ]
[ NOT ON EXCEPTION statement-2 ]
[ END-ACCEPT ]
Syntax Rules
- dest-item is a data item that receives the accepted data. It must be USAGE DISPLAY unless the WITH CONVERSION phrase is also used.
- EXCEPTION and ESCAPE are equivalent.
- A NOT AT END phrase may not be paired with an ON EXCEPTION phrase, nor may a NOT ON EXCEPTION phrase be paired with an AT END phrase.
Note: ACCEPT FROM CONFIGURATION is not supported.
General Rules
- A Format 5 ACCEPT statement returns values from the user's environment.
Env-name is the name of the environment setting whose value is to be returned. The value returned from this item is moved to
dest-item.
Note: ACUCOBOL-GT allows you to specify an ACUCOBOL-GT runtime configuration variable for
Env-name. This COBOL system does not support specifying runtime configuration variables.
