current NonStop NET/MASTER MS system.
PROCESS
specifies that the named table is visible to the current NCL process only. This

current region. This includes any EXEC, START, or INTCMD NCL processes
in this region and any NCL processes executing in the other opened OCS

AGE
specifies whether entries are to be aged when certain operations are performed on
them. Aging allows a vartable to be used as a cache to keep frequently referenced
entries and allows automatic deletion of old entries.
ALL
specifies that any reference to a table entry makes it the newest. This includes
GET, PUT, ADD, or UPDATE.
GET
defines that an entry retrieved by VARTABLE GET is made the newest entry.
VARTABLE GET provides facilities for retrieving the oldest or newest entries.
NEW or NO
indicates that only entries added to the table by VARTABLE ADD or
VARTABLE PUT are to be regarded as the newest. All other references leave
an entry in relative chronological order.
UPDATE
specifies that an entry updated by VARTABLE UPDATE or VARTABLE PUT
becomes the newest entry.
