(CHKKEY(0))

Returns an integer value of 1 if there are keystrokes available in the type-ahead buffer. Returns 0 if no keystrokes are available. Use CHKKEY before GETKEY to determine if a key is available.

CHKKEY does nothing with the zero that you enter in parentheses; CHKKEY returns a value without receiving one.
