- PMERR_PS_BUSY (0x20F4)
- An attempt was made to access the presentation space from more than one thread simultaneously.
- PMERR_INV_IN_RETAIN_MODE (0x208C)

Example Code
#define INCL_GPIPRIMITIVES /* Or use INCL_GPI, INCL_PM, */ #include <os2.h> HPS hps; /* Presentation-space handle. */ LONG lMode; /* Character mode. */ lMode = GpiQueryCharMode(hps);
This example uses GpiQueryCharMode to return the current value of the character mode attribute, as set by the GpiSetCharMode call.
#define INCL_GPIPRIMITIVES /* Primitive functions */ #include <os2.h> LONG lMode; /* character mode attribute */ HPS hps; /* Presentation-space handle */ lMode = GpiQueryCharMode(hps);
