&ZBROID

Returns the broadcast identifier associated with the NCL process.

To identify the broadcast request that resulted in the execution of this procedure.

Examples:

See $NMBRO distributed broadcast handler.

Notes:

This variable returns a value only when used in a procedure associated with a user broadcast.

The NSBRO command supports an ID operand that specifies a 1- to 8-character broadcast identifier.

This value is returned by &ZBROID when the broadcast procedure is executed on behalf of a user.

If no ID operand is used, a system value is generated.
