Syntax:

call "PC_WIN_INIT" using     hInst 
                             hPrevInst 
                             lpszCmdLine 
                             nCmdShow 
                   returning status-code

Parameters:

	Using call prototype (see Key)	Picture
`hInst`	cblt-HINSTANCE	usage pointer.
`hPrevInst`	cblt-HINSTANCE	usage pointer.
`lpszCmdLine`	cblt-pointer	usage pointer.
`nCmdShow`	cblt-x4-comp5	pic x(4) comp-5.
`status-code`	See Library Routines - Key

On Entry:

None

On Exit:

`hInst`	The handle of this instance.
`hPrevInst`	The handle of the previous instance.
`lpszCmdLine`	A pointer to the command line. Not for COBOL use.
`nCmdShow`	Flags to indicate the attributes attached to any windows created.

Comments:

When starting a Windows application Windows returns four start-up values. These are required when calling a number of the Windows API routines. When using the shared run-time system, it is necessary to call this routine to get the start-up values so you can then use the Windows API.

You should not access the command line using the parameter passed here. Use ACCEPT ... FROM COMMAND-LINE instead.
