A vartable is an in-storage table with the following attributes:
(Default) Indicates that the table is only visible to the NCL PROCESS that allocated it. It is automatically freed when the process terminates, if not explicitly freed beforehand. Table names must be unique within a process, but different processes can operate using different tables with the same name.
Indicates that the table is visible to all NCL processes in a processing region. For a signed-on user, this means all NCL processes running in either NCL window, under the User Services menu, MAI script procedures, and so on. The table is automatically freed when the region terminates (for example, when the user signs off), if not explicitly freed beforehand. Table names must be unique within the region, but different regions can use different tables of the same name.
Indicates that the table is visible to all NCL processes in this address space. The table is automatically deleted when your product terminates, if not explicitly freed sometime beforehand.
SYSTEM scope replaced GLOBAL in an earlier version but the use of GLOBAL is supported.
AOM
Indicates that the statement refers to a mirrored vartable if AOM has started.
The entries in a table are maintained in ascending key field value order. The retrieval option of &VARTABLE allows sequential retrieval in ascending or descending order.
