GET GLOBAL

You can use the GET GLOBAL command to access QMF global variables in your application. For languages other than REXX, QMF provides an extended syntax of the GET GLOBAL command.

Variable definitions:

|--number of varnames--,--varname lengths--,--varnames--,-------|

|--value lengths--,--values--,--value type----------------------|

The parameters specified on the GET GLOBAL command define the storage that your application program uses to store the variable names and values returned by the GET GLOBAL command.

number of varnames
The number of variables requested
varname lengths
A list of lengths for each variable name specified

The length of the variable name should be equal to the actual length of the global variable name in your storage area. An 18-character area padded with trailing blanks is allowed.

varnames
A list of names of the QMF variables

Do not specify trailing blanks in global variable names; QMF deletes trailing blanks.

value lengths
A list of the lengths of the values of the variables

The following rules apply to the variable value:

values
A list of variable values
value type
The data type of the storage area that contains the values- it must be either character or integer
