GETLIKE function variable output:

The GETLIKE function reads the variables that match a name mask as specified within the supporting NAME keyword and returns the list of variable names, values, and attributes in unique stemmed variables. The default stemmed variable names begins with VASRV_, or can optionally be named by using the PREFIX keyword. The OPTIONS keyword can be used to select or limit the data that is returned if needed.

The default stemmed variables that are created from a GETLIKE function call without the PREFIX keyword are:

VASRV_NAME.0

The count total of variables that match the specified stem mask.

VASRV_NAME.x (x = 1 to total count returned in vasrv_name.0)

Full variable name

Length: 1-128

Example: GLVPLXT1.STATUS.SYSTEM

VASRV_VALUE.x (x = 1 to total count returned in vasrv_name.0)

These VALUE variables contain multiple word values.

Note: These variables are not created if the OPTIONS(NOVALUES) keyword was specified on the GETLIKE function.
