#NOTE If &INOUT equals OUTVAR, the field &RKEY is an output only field.
#NOTE If &INOUT equals INPUT, &RKEY is an input field that can
#NOTE be modified by the user.

say “&sys.retcode = “ &sys.retcode
say “&sysmsg = “ &sysmsg
END
&inout=INPUT /* or =OUTVAR if you want an output field */
&rkey=ENTER SOMETHING
PANEL pnl3
SAY “&RKEY = “&rkey
SAY THAT IS IT
END PSLPX
The command to execute the preceding NCL procedure is shown next:
