GETVAR Command

The GETVAR command copies the value of a CA Automation Point status variable into a local REXX variable.

This command has the following format:

"GETVAR varname [rexxvar]"

varname: Specifies the name of the CA Automation Point variable to be copied.
rexxvar: (Optional) The name of the local REXX variable into which the CA Automation Point variable is copied. If you do not specify a REXX variable name, the value of the first CA Automation Point variable is copied into the REXX variable AXCRESULT.

Usage Note:

GETVAR status variable names are case-sensitive in CA Automation Point. Use uppercase variable names consistently.

Example:

To give the variable SCREEN_STATUS the same value as the status variable SCRSTAT, issue this command:

"GETVAR SCRSTAT SCREEN_STATUS"

Note: If you issue this command when the SCRSTAT status variable has the value LOCKED, the REXX variable SCREEN_STATUS is also set to LOCKED.
