I'm trying to do some direct console io using the CMS CONSOLE macro. I'm
kinda new to this, so let me explain the environment and the program:
I'm using VM/XA and VM/IS 6:
My program is something along these lines:
SCRDUMP  CSECT
         STM    14,12,12(13)
         BALR   12,0
         USING  *,12
         ST     13,SAVE+4
         LA     13,SAVE
         FSOPEN FCSB=MYFSCB
         CONSOLE OPEN,PATH='PATH1',BUFFER=PTR,ERROR=ERR,EXIT=INTR
         CONSOLE READ,PATH='PATH1',BUFFER=PTR,OPTIONS=(NOWAIT,RDBUF)
         LR     7,0
         ST     7,TOTCNT
         etc....
   Anyway, R0 returns a value of 32 and the 32 values pointed to are all zeros.
 Any ideas? I Have to make it clear that assembly is pretty new to me, so I'm s
ure that I'm screwing up somewhere. We want to be able to read an entire screen
 into a buffer and save it to a file.
   We've checked all of the returned values via LINEDIT and some other steps. W
hat am I missing?
