NCL PPI User Variables

The following NCL user variables can be set by some &PPI verb operations:

&PPISENDERID

Set to the sender ID of a data buffer after a successful &PPI RECEIVE operation. The sender ID can contain ampersand (&) characters.

&PPIDATALEN

Set to the actual byte length of the received data buffer after a successful &PPI RECEIVE operation.

The &PPI RECEIVE also sets nominated user variables with the received data.
