Syntax
VioWrtNChar (Char, Times, Row, Column, VioHandle)

Parameters

 * Char (PCH) - input : Address of the character to be written.
 * Times (USHORT) - input : Number of times to write the character.
 * Row (USHORT) - input : Starting cursor row.
 * Column (USHORT) - input : Starting cursor column.
 * VioHandle (HVIO) - input : This must be zero unless the caller is a Presentation Manager application, in which case it must be the value returned by VioGetPs.

Return Code

 * rc (USHORT) - return:Return code descriptions are:
 * 0 NO_ERROR

PM Considerations
Write a character to the Advanced VIO presentation space a number of times. The caller must specify the starting location on the presentation space where the string is to be written.
