Purpose: The SYSVAR command can set symbolic fields
for operator interaction with product rules.
Syntax:
SYSVAR {num} {text}
Comments: The
SYSVAR command allows operators to
communicate with the rules language. SYSVAR sets a symbolic field that can be
accessed by rules statements. Tip: All products that use the
rules language have access to five
SYSVAR symbolic fields:
SYSVAR1–SYSVAR5. Each symbolic field is a 50-byte
character field.
Examples: The following command sets the SYSVAR5
variable to the character string HOLD. The rules language for any product
executing under DIF can access the field by referencing
&SYSVAR5.
F DIF,SYSVAR 5 HOLD
