converse

The EGL converse statement presents a text form in a text application.

The program waits for a user response, receives the text form from the user, and continues processing with the statement that follows the converse statement.

For an overview of text-form processing, see these pages in order:

1. Text forms

2. Segmentation

textFormName

Name of a text form that is visible to the program. For details on visibility, see References to parts.

An example is as follows:

  converse myTextForm;
  

These considerations apply:

• In relation to text forms, a converse statement is always valid in a called program; but if you are running a main program that is segmented, the converse statement is not valid in these kinds of code--
  • A function that has parameters, local storage, or return values

  • A function that is invoked (directly or indirectly) by a function that has parameters, local storage, or return values.
