_THREAD^CONTEXT^ADDRESS
_THREAD^CONTEXT^ADDRESS is an INT(32) field, containing the extended
address of the command context area, which is allocated to each thread when it is
created and persists until the thread terminates. The context area contains a fixed
header, followed by a user-defined area.
Since globals are shared among all threads, the construction to access the thread context
must be done in the local data area of each procedure that requires access.
Example
The following example of a local data definition gives a thread procedure access to the
command context area:
INT.EXT cx (command^context^def) = _THREAD^CONTEXT^ADDRESS;
command^context^def is a user-defined structure template that begins with
_COMMAND^CONTEXT^HEADER.
See also the examples for _FOBJECT^INIT and _COMMAND^CONTEXT^HEADER.
