The following example shows the use of VARTABLE GET with SCOPE=CACHED to
obtain a local copy of a global vartable. This example allocates a global vartable called
GTABLE. The process then adds two entries in the same vartable and specifies the
vartable as a local cached table. Both the local cached vartable and the global vartable
are updated at the same time. The entry uses a key value of KEY01 and adds two data
items of DATA01 and DATA02; the VARTABLE GET verb is issued to establish a
cached copy of the global vartable named GTABLE in this process. Without the
VARTABLE GET, only the global vartable is updated because a cached copy does not
exist; SCOPE=CACHED is interpreted as SCOPE=GLOBAL.
