VAXTPU WRITE_CLIPBOARD — VMS 5.2

 WRITE_CLIPBOARD

 Writes STRING format data to the clipboard.

 Syntax

    WRITE_CLIPBOARD (clipboard_label, {buffer | range | string})

 Parameters

    clipboard_label      The label for multiple entries in the clipboard.
                         Since the clipboard does not currently support
                         multiple labels, use any string including the null
                         string to specify this parameter.

    buffer               The buffer containing text to be written to the
                         clipboard.  VAXTPU represents line breaks by a
                         line-feed character (ASCII (10)).  The buffer must
                         contain at least one character or line break.  If
                         it does not, VAXTPU signals TPU$_CLIPBOARDZERO.

    range                The range containing text to be written to the
                         clipboard.  VAXTPU represent line breaks by a
                         line-feed character (ASCII (10)).  The range must
                         contain at least one character or line break.  If
                         it does not, VAXTPU signals TPU$_CLIPBOARDZERO.

    string               The string containing text to be written to the
                         clipboard.  The string must contain at least one
                         character.  If it does not, VAXTPU signals
                         TPU$_CLIPBOARDZERO.
