System Data Item Descriptions
GLB.TIME
GLB.TITLE
LENGTH = 2 EDIT = N
GLB.TIME is a read-only System Data item that gives the system time in the form
HHMMSSTT (hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths of seconds). If debug date and time
is activated, it contains the debug time. Its value is set at the beginning of an Ispec or
Report. It is not changed during each Ispec transaction, and in a Report, it is only updated
when SLEEP; or CRITICAL.POINT; commands are executed.
LENGTH = 8 EDIT = N
GLB.TITLE contains a name used for Report output. A value in GLB.TITLE overrides the
default name for a Report.
GLB.TITLE is valid only in Report logic. It can be used for Shadow Reports in the form
GLB.TITLEx, where x is the one-character Shadow Report designator (A through Z).
Once output from a Report has been produced, the value of GLB.TITLE remains until the
next RELEASE; command or end-of-job, when the most recent change to its value then
applies.
For related information, see also ‘‘GLB.FORMID’’.
Further specific details for each host type are given in the following subsections.
For an MCP based LINC System
The default for the primary Report is PRINT. The default for Shadow Reports is PRINTx,
where x is the Shadow Report designator (A through Z).
MCP based Non-ROC and ROC Direct Reports
The :BDD LINC System (colon) command can also be used to affect names used for Report
output directed to Line Printers, or Remote Printers. (Also applies to ATTRIBUTE;
