request (Scanner Action Requests)

This is used only for the scanning user exits, not for Edit or Score user exits.

During a user exit, the user exit program passes a value to ScanTools requesting a scanner action or program action. The value is passed in the parameter request.

These are possible values and the actions that correspond to them:

NOTERM

Do not terminate, continue scanning.

More than one action can be requested at one time, by ORing or adding the values together.

Not all actions can be selected at each user exit. If an action is requested at an inappropriate time (for example, "suppress printing" after printing has taken place), the request is ignored.

Scanner action requests are not saved from one user exit call to the next. For example, if a stack is selected at ACQUIRE, and it is not selected again at any subsequent user exits 3, 4, or 5, the ACQUIRE stack request will not occur.

For the rules that apply to the performance of scanner actions requested during user exits, see Scanner Request Rules.

The helper functions SetSheetDestination, TerminateScanning, and StopScanner all update the request value.
