# u0358 user exit

The u0358 user exit allows character
input combined with an eoi (end-of-input) character.

## Syntax

```
var = iconv(length, "u0358")
```

## Parameter(s)

| length | Maximum length of the input, not including the eoi delimiter. length cannot be over 500 characters. The eoi character can be: x’0A’, x’0E’, x’17’, x’0C’, x’0D’, x’1A’, x’0B’ |
| --- | --- |

## Editing Functions

The left-arrow key moves
the cursor one position to the left while erasing the right side of
the input field.

When the cursor reaches the left side of the
input field, it remains on that first position.

When the cursor
reaches the right side of input field, it remains on the last position
and a bell is sent to the terminal. The user can then change the last
character or move to the left.

Control characters other than
the eoi are ignored.

Depending on the eoi character, the variable
can be tested to take different branches. The eoi character is stored
as a second attribute of the variable.

## Example(s)

```
lg = 5
var=iconv(lg,"U0358")
carvalid=seq(extract(var,2))
if carvalid=14 then...
if carvalid=15 then...
```
