ADDRESS GLV Commands › ADDRESS GLV Command Descriptions › SETLP Command

SETLP Command

The SETLP command assigns a literal value, which can contain blanks, to a single nonvolatile status or GLV variable. This command updates or creates a .glv file. (A .glv file contains nonvolatile variables.)

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS GLV '[SELECT vargroup] SETLP varname value'

SELECT

(Optional) Specifies the name of a variable group (vargroup) to which the specified variable (varname) belongs.

For more information, see the description of the SELECT command.

varname

Specifies the name of a nonvolatile status or GLV variable.

Note: If you assign a value to a nonvolatile variable, and a volatile variable of the same name already exists, the volatile variable will be erased.

value

Specifies the value to assign to the variable specified by varname. Valid values are literal strings. The value can contain blanks.

Example:

The following REXX statement assigns a literal value to the nonvolatile status variable AXCDISK_MESSAGE:

ADDRESS GLV 'SETLP AXCDISK_MESSAGE This is a sentence in one variable'
