&AOMTEXT

A system variable containing the major text of the current message.

This variable contains the text of an incoming message. If the message is a multi-line WTO/WTOR, then the text is taken from the first or major line. The text in &AOMTEXT does not change for following minor lines. For VM-sourced messages, &AOMTEXT contains the message text.

&AOMATEXT contains the minor line text associated with the major line in &AOMTEXT. For the first or major line, &AOMTEXT has the same contents.

Example: &AOMTEXT

&AOMDEL 
&WRITE RC=&AOMROUTC DATA=&AOMTEXT

Notes:

The three system variables &AOMMAJOR, &AOMMINOR, and &AOMSINGL is used to determine whether or not the current line is from a multi-line WTO and whether the current line is a major or minor line.

Following is a table of the possible settings for all these variables:

&AOMMAJOR	&AOMMINOR	&AOMSINGL	&AOMTEXT
NO	NO	YES	SINGLE LINE text
YES	NO	NO	CURRENT LINE text
NO	YES	NO	FIRST/MAJOR LINE text

&AOMSINGL is also set to YES for WTOR messages.

The text returned includes any screen character. For more information, see the &AOMCHAR1 description.
