GLB.STN
In Ispecs
Overwriting GLB.STATUS Values
System Data Item Descriptions
The value of GLB.STATUS can be changed in a DO.WHEN; command. You should exercise
caution when coding complex decision logic that involves more than one DO.WHEN;
command.
Consider the following logic:
You may be checking the result of a previous action in the first DO.WHEN; command, but
the test on an array item in the second DO.WHEN; command also affects GLB.STATUS,
and will overwrite the GLB.STATUS value that you intended to check.
LENGTH = 5 EDIT = A
GLB.STN (or GLB.STATION, which is a synonym) applies to all hosts, Ispecs and Reports.
LENGTH = 17 EDIT = A
For details of reference station names, see your MCP Based LINC Administration and
