&ZMAOMDTA

Indicates whether or not the current message contains AOM data.

This system variable is set after an &LOGREAD, &MSGREAD, or &INTREAD statement to indicate whether or not the current message contains AOM data (attributes).

This system variable contains either YES or NO. It is always set when a message is current. If it is NO, the only other AOM system variable that has a non-null value is the &ZMAOMMSG system variable.

Example: &ZMAOMDTA

-* if no AOM data, just CONT.
&IF &ZMAOMDTA = NO &THEN &MSGCONT

Note: Messages can carry AOM data without being propagated to AOM receivers. The converse is true. The &ZMAOMDTA and &ZMAOMMSG system variables indicate which of the attributes (AOM message and/or AOM data) the message has.
