SET Statement

The SET statement allows you to initialize or reset a user variable, user table, or a

parameter. The SET statement also allows you to reset option variables. The syntax of

the SET statement is:

user-variable-name or user-table-name "["subscript"]"

is the name of an element defined by a DECLARE statement.

param-name

is the name of a parameter defined by a PARAM statement.

string-literal

is one or more alphanumeric characters enclosed within quotation marks.

unsigned-digit

is an unsigned numeric literal.

option-variable-name

is the name of an option variable.

numeric-literal

is an integer.

display-format

is the default display format enclosed in quotation marks for printing dates or times

when AS DATE * and AS TIME * clauses are used.

Initializing User-Defined Elements

When initializing a user variable, user table, or a parameter, specify values that are

consistent with the internal format type. If the internal format type is alphanumeric,

specify a string literal; if the internal format type is numeric, specify a numeric literal. In

{ { user-variable-name } [ string-literal ] }

{ { user-table-name } [TO] [ ] }

{ { "["subscript"]" } [ number-literal ] }

{ { param-name } }

SET { { ON }

{ { OFF } }

{ option-variable-name [TO] { unsigned-digit } }

{ { string-literal } }

{ { display-format } }
