$CAPKBIF PLEXSYM symbol VALUE

Returns the value of the specified static system symbol.

&CALL PROC=$CAPKBIF PARMS=(PLEXSYM,symbol,VALUE) 
&CALL PROC=$CAPKBIF PARMS=(PLEXSYM,symbol)

Both statements are equivalent.

Example:

The following sample NCL procedure displays all the static system symbols on a given system.

&CALL PROC=$CAPKBIF PARMS=(PLEXSYM,,COUNT)     
&Count = &$CAVALUE         
&WRITE Number of PLEXSYM variables = &Count    
&SYM = &I = 1 
&DOWHILE &I LE &Count     

    &CALL PROC=$CAPKBIF PARMS=(PLEXSYM,&SYM,NEXT)

    &SYM = &$CAVALUE

    &CALL PROC=$CAPKBIF PARMS=(PLEXSYM,&SYM,VALUE)

    &WRITE &I &SYM=&$CAVALUE 

    &I = &I + 1
