CALL GASK('MARREP', index, color-index, size, type, return-code-variable);


Description

The GASK('MARREP' . . . ) routine returns the color, size, and type of marker associated with a specific marker bundle. If the bundle indicated by index has not been previously defined with the GSET('MARREP', . . . ) function, DSGI issues the following error message:

ERROR: A representation for the specified marker index has
 not been defined on this workstation.
