&PPI STATUS

Operands:

STATUS

The STATUS option of the &PPI verb allows an NCL process to determine the status of PPI itself, or of a specific receiver.

ID=name

An optional parameter. If specified, indicates that a specific receiver ID is to be checked. &RETCODE will indicates whether the nominated receiver ID is active (0), inactive (4), or undefined (8).

If omitted, the status of PPI itself is returned. If PPI is active, &RETCODE will be 0. Other values indicate that PPI is not active.

Note:

&PPI status provides further information beyond the &ZPPI system variable, which simply indicates whether PPI may be usable in this environment.
