IBM Professional Series User Manual

DESBUF
Use the DESBUF command to clear the console and
program stack input and output buffers. The format of the
DESBUF command is:
I DESBUF
Usage Notes: Note that DESBUF clears the output buffers
as well as the input buffers.
Use the CONW AIT command
before
DESBUF to halt program execution until all output
lines are displayed
at the terminal.
Warning: Be careful when using the
DESBUF command
because the input and output console and program stack
buffers are used to communicate information between
programs.
DROPBUF
Use the DROPBUF command to eliminate the most recently
created program stack buffer. The format of the
DROPBUF
command is:
I DROPBUF I n
Where:
n
indicates the number of the first program stack
buffer you want to drop.
eMS drops the indicated
buffer and all buffers created after it.
If n is not
specified, only the most recently created buffer
is
dropped.
Usage Note: Note that you can specify a number with
DROPBUF. For example, if you issue:
DROPBUF 4
eMS eliminates program stack buffer 4 and all program
stack buffers created after it. Thus, if there were presently
six program stack buffers,
eMS would eliminate program
Chapter 7.
