HELP TERMIN Steven Hardy, October 1977 This constant holds a special object (of dataword TERMIN) used by character repeaters and item repeaters (see HELP *INCHARITEM) to indicate the end of a stream. For example, when a character repeater (e.g. *DISCIN) has reached the end of a file, its result is not a character code but TERMIN. TERMIN is also used by a procedure to which *PDTOLIST has been applied to indicate the end of the resulting dynamic list. For further details of input/output procedures, see REF *CHARIO, REF *SYSIO. See also HELP *COMPILE - for compiler procedures (which also use TERMIN) *CHARIN - for another example of a character repeater *PDTOLIST - on creating dynamic lists
