EGL Reference Guide for iSeries
The EGL converse statement presents a text form in a text
application.
The program waits for a user response, receives the text form from the
user, and continues processing with the statement that follows the
converse statement.
For an overview of text-form processing, see these pages in order:
- Text forms
- Segmentation

- textFormName
- Name of a text form that is visible to the program. For details on
visibility, see References to parts.
An example is as follows:
converse myTextForm;
These considerations apply:
- In relation to text forms, a converse statement is always valid
in a called program; but if you are running a main program that is
segmented, the converse statement is not valid in these kinds of
code--
- A function that has parameters, local storage, or return values
- A function that is invoked (directly or indirectly) by a function that has
parameters, local storage, or return values.
