System Data Item Descriptions
LENGTH = 10 EDIT = A
GLB.PRTPARAM
GLB.PUR
Note: This System Data item is valid only for OS 2200 based Report logic.
This System Data item enables you to pass data from a Shadow Report to a user-written
USERPRT print handler program. It is valid only in Direct Reports that produce output for
a Shadow Report.
When GLB.PARAM applies to a Shadow Report, use the form GLB.PRTPARAMx, where x
is the one-character Shadow Report designator (A through Z).
For more details, see your OS 2200 Based LINC Administration and Operations Guide.
LENGTH = user-defined (maximum 9999) EDIT = A
This is a read-only System Data item. It can be used in place of the literal PUR to allow for
translation of MAINT values in multiple-language systems.
GLB.RECORDx
For more details, see the MAINT System Data item, later in this section.
This System Data item is used in conjunction with a DETERMINE; ACTUAL command
when reading an Extract file in Report logic.
When a value is moved into GLB.RECORDx, the Extract file is read from the record after
that specified number. If no number (or GLB.ZEROS) is moved into GLB.RECORDx, the
read starts from the first record.
If a value equal to, or greater than, the last record number in the file is moved to
GLB.RECORDx, GLB.STATUS will be set to (*****) after the DETERMINE; ACTUAL
command is executed.
This System Data item can only be used in the form GLB.RECORDx, where x is the
one-character Extract file designator (A through Z).
GLB.RECORDx is not automatically updated as records are accessed.
See also ‘‘DETERMINE; ACTUAL’’ in this manual.
