VARS
input-vars-list
specifies that the message is to be split into the supplied variables before
control is returned to the NCL process, if PARSE=YES has been specified.
Each word of the command output line is split into the supplied variables
from left to right. If too few variables are specified data is missing. Excess
variables are given no value—they are set to the null string. Multiple
variables must be enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas.
If PARSE=NO is specified, the whole message is placed in the first variable of
i nput-vars-list .
variable*
specifies a set of variables. See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the
beginning of this section, for more information.
RANGE=( start , end )
determines the range of variables specified by the VARS operand. See
“Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for more
information.
SEGMENT= n
specifies the amount of data (in bytes) to be put into the variables specified.
See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for
more information.
PARSE
specifies how NCL is to parse text supplied in the NonStop NET/MASTER
MS GO command. See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of
this section, for more information.
DATA= rest-of-statement
specifies the text of the message to be displayed at the terminal, and/or written to
the activity log. Normal variable and text substitution is performed before the
message is sent. The text can be in uppercase and lowercase. If no text is
supplied, NCL supplies the null value and issues a compilation warning. The data
string is regarded as being everything to the right of DATA=, to the end of the
statement.
Note DATA, if specified, must be the last keyword in this verb.
