<stream_name> is the name of the previously opened stream (Required).

<read_length> is the number of bytes to read (optional). If not passed it will read up until a line termination character to a maximum of 32000 characters. If a value is passed it will read up to that number of characters or until a line termination character is encountered, whichever comes first. In Releases 5.3.1 and earlier, if passed shared, it will return the number of characters actually read, however, you should set it back to 32000 before the next GOSUB --- .STREAM READ, otherwise this subroutine will only read that number of characters. In Release 5.3.2 and higher, this will value not return anything and will not change, even if passed SHARED.

In Option 1, if passed shared, it will return the number of characters actually read, however, you should set it back to 32000 before the next GOSUB --- .STREAM READ, otherwise this subroutine will only read that number of characters (or less). If you PASS <length_read> as in Option 2, this will value not return anything and will not change, even if passed SHARED. In this case, the number of bytes read will be returned in <length_read>.

<length_read> is the number of characters actually read (5.3.2 and higher only). This must be passed SHARED to return a value.
