Status Variables

Status variables are symbolic variables useful for building a body of operations data. These variables allow multiple rules or sets of rules to share the same data and let CA Automation Point communicate with REXX procedures. Any rules keyword that uses environmental variables can also use status variables. You can use the data to:

• Pass information between rules
• Pass information between CA Automation Point and REXX programs
• Control processing of a subsequent message
• Provide input for automation
