To Execute this Example
| System Variables Galore | The Things that Make Up this Example |
- Initially cut and paste S_159FSV, VSAM009 and VSAM010 and compile them.
- To define you own system variable(s) repeat the following steps for each new variable:
- Define the system variable into the repository using the normal Visual LANSA dialog in the normal manner.
- Define the system variable as a static alpha or numeric variable with appropriate length and decimal position details. The maximum length for an alpha system variable is 200 bytes.
- Always specify RDML function VSAM009 (for alphanumeric) or VSAM010 (for numeric) as the evaluation program.
- Use these system variables in your RDML or RDMLX code just like any other system variable.
- To set or change the actual value of a system variable (even in a deployed application):
- Execute form S_159FSV.
- Note that S_159FSV does not save new or changed details until it is closed.
