Set Variables :

Specifying the Variables. You can set two types of variables: ruleset user variables and
global variables. User variables have the prefix $UV and are accessible by the message
handler that uses this rule and any exit NCL procedures that are invoked in line by
this handler. Global variables have the prefix GLBL and are accessible by all message
handlers and NCL procedures. You can set up to ten user variables and three global
variables. You specify a variable using the Suffix and Assigned Value fields on the
RMS : Set Ruleset Variables panel.
Use the Suffix field to specify the second part of the variable name. You can specify a
string of up to nine characters for user variables and a string of up to eight characters
for global variables. For example, if you specify MSGID in the Suffix field of a user
variable, you refer to the variable as &$UVMSGID.
Use the Assigned Value field to specify the value to be set for the variable. You can
specify a string of up to 62 characters. When a message triggers the rule, RMS sets the
variable to this value. Leaving the field blank resets the variable.
