System Data Item Descriptions
GLB.CHG
GLB.CLOSE
GLB.COPY
The chargecode that applies to your Report run or WFL job initiation is the chargecode
contained in GLB.CHARGECODE when the RUN; or START; logic command is executed.
RIP reports that are run from WFL have the chargecode set to the name (usercode)station.
RIP reports that are not attached to a terminal have the chargecode set to LINCRIP.
Move the chargecode value into GLB.CHARGECODE before the appropriate RUN; or
START; Logic command. Do not include the period on the end of your chargecode, as this
is automatically appended.
For further details, see your MCP Based LINC Administration and Operations Guide.

GLB.CHG is a read-only System Data item. It should be used in place of the literal CHG,to
allow for translation of MAINT values in multiple-language systems.
For more details, see the MAINT System Data item, later in this section.
GLB.CLOSE is a read-only data item used in conjunction with the SLEEP; command in
Reports.
If a manual stop (for example, from the :STO LINC System command) or a programmatic
stop (invoked by the END.AFTER; option of the SLEEP; command) is received by the
Report, GLB.CLOSE is set to CLOSE, and the Report is reactivated. This enables
termination logic, such as printing a summary, to be performed.
If a SLEEP; command is executed when GLB.CLOSE has the value CLOSE, the Report
goes to end-of-job.
GLB.CLOSE is set to GLB.SPACES when a Report is initiated.

GLB.COPY is a read-only System data item that contains the number of the current copy in
a Copy.From Ispec. GLB.COPY can be compared to the System Data item GLB.MAXCOPY
to determine whether the logic is being performed for the final time.
In non-Copy.From Ispecs, GLB.COPY is always zero.
