NLSCANMOVE
NLSCANMOVE
NM and CM callable.
Scans and moves character strings according to character attributes. This function is
handled in a language-dependent manner.
Syntax
I16 CA CA U16V
numchar :=NLSCANMOVE( inbuffer,outbuffer,flags,
I16V I16V U16A
bufferlength,langnum,error,
U16A CA
charset,shiftinfo );
Functional Return
numchar 16-bit signed integer (assigned functional return)
Contains the number of characters acted upon in the scan or move
function.
Parameters
inbuffer character array (required)
Passes the source string.
outbuffer character array (required)
Returns the target string.
NOTE If outbuffer and inbuffer are the same string, this intrinsic performs a

flags 16-bit unsigned integer by value (required)
Contains the flag defining the options for calling the intrinsic and defines
the condition for terminating the scan or move function.
