error := COMPRESSEDIT ( filenum ) ; !i,o
!i:i
In procedure calls, the !i:i notation follows an input string parameter that has a
corresponding parameter specifying the length of the string in bytes. For example:
error := FILENAME_COMPARE_ ( filename1:length !i:i
,
filename2:length ) ; !i:i
!o:i
In procedure calls, the !o:i notation follows an output buffer parameter that has a
corresponding input parameter specifying the maximum length of the output buffer in
bytes. For example:
error := FILE_GETINFO_ ( filenum !i
, [
filename:maxlen ] ) ; !o:i
