ADDRESS GLV Commands › ADDRESS GLV Command Descriptions › GET Command

GET Command

The GET command retrieves the value of any variable (that is, any status or GLV variable whether volatile or nonvolatile) and assigns that value to a local REXX variable of the same name.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS GLV '[SELECT vargroup] GET varname . . . '

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.

GET

Specifies the name of the variable whose value you want to retrieve. ( CA Automation Point places the contents of the specified variable into a local REXX variable of the same name.)

You can specify one or more varname variable names.

Examples:

• The following REXX statement assigns the values of two nonvolatile status variables (AXCDISK_DVOL and AXCDISK_ERRORS) from the variable group AXC to local REXX variables of the same names:

  ADDRESS GLV 'SELECT AXC GET AXCDISK_DVOL AXCDISK_ERRORS'
  

• The following REXX statement assigns the value of VOXCALLS (a GLV variable that could be volatile or nonvolatile in this example) to a local REXX variable of the same name. (Notice that the VOXCALLS variable is a member of the VOXGROUP variable group.)

  ADDRESS GLV 'SELECT VOXGROUP GET VOXCALLS'
