Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     While a macro is running, PWB functions do not display their
     prompts and assume the default response. (A prompt is a dialog with
     a yes or no response.) The default response is usually yes.
 
     You can restore the function's prompt or change the assumed
     response by using the macro prompt directives. Note that only PWB
     functions suppress their prompts within a macro; extension
     functions always prompt and ignore the macro prompt directives.
 
     Syntax
 
     <[y│n]
 
     <    Restore prompt: PWB displays the prompt and waits for user
          input before continuing with the macro.
 
     <y   Assume Yes: PWB does not display the prompt and continues
          executing with a Yes response.
 
     <n   Assume No: PWB does not display the prompt and continues
          executing with a No response.
