Creating Status Variables

To create a status variable and assign a name to it, use one of the following methods:

• Use the keyword SET(&varname=value) in a rule.

  For example, specifying SET(&STATUS=WAITING) assigns a value of WAITING to the variable &STATUS.

• Issue the SETVAR command processor from within a REXX program.
