Built-In Functions

Built-in functions execute common low-level functions such as arithmetic operations, character string manipulations, and control operations such as commitment control and program exit. Built-in functions are specified within action diagrams and are implemented as inline source code within calling functions. The built-in functions are:

*RTVFLDINF	Retrieve Field Information
*SET CURSOR	Set Cursor
*SUB	Subtract
