System Data Item Descriptions
If the Report is run unattached, and GLB.ASCPRT or GLB.STN is not defined in the
LINC/NET file, the Report will go to end-of-job.
For ROC Reports where GLB.DEVICE contains EX, an asterisk (*) in GLB.STN indicates
that the Extract file name is specified in GLB.TITLE.
For specific information on MCP based stations for PowerClient, see your MCP Based
LINC Administration and Operations Guide.
OS 2200
For Reports directed to Line Printers, the name of the symbiont queue can be specified by
moving it to GLB.STN. If GLB.STN contains spaces, the output is directed to the default
symbiont queue.
If GLB.DEVICE contains TP, then the destination of the Report must be a station (PID).
UNIX
For Reports directed to LP or TP, GLB.STN contains the piped alias, and for Reports
directed to EX it contains the file name. GLB.STN is not used for device types VD or DI.
LDA Run Time
GLB.STNHOST
GLB.STYLE
GLB.STN must be set by the Report to indicate the output device.
Note: This System Data item is valid for MCP based LINC Systems only.
GLB.STNHOST is used in BNA V1 networks. When a terminal is connected to a LINC
System running on another host processor, the terminal name is prefixed by the name of
the host. GLB.STNHOST holds the name of this host, and the terminal name is held in
GLB.STN for Ispec logic, and in GLB.INITSTN for Report logic.
LENGTH = 17 EDIT = A
GLB.STYLE is a read-only System Data item that contains the type of terminal or program
from which a transaction originated. Valid values for each runtime host type are shown in
the following table.
