[#REPEAT

prefix

suffix-1

…

suffix-n

]

returns a string of

words, each composed of the prefix followed by the

appropriate suffix. For example:

[#REPEAT $PWY 1 2 3]

would return:

$PWY1 $PWY2 $PWY3

[#REQUESTER]

returns the SNA name of the requesting secondary logical unit (SLU).

For SNAX/XF, the SLU name is not defined, so the LU name in the ADD LU

command in the SNAX/XF configuration is used.

For SNAX/APN, this name is the SNA LU name of the requesting terminal. For

example, if the IBM system is a type 2.1 node consisting of a VTAM and an NCP,

this matches the LU name in the LU macro in the NCP definition.

[#SERVICE]

returns the name of the application requested by the user logon.

For SNAX/XF, this is the PLUNAME value from the ESS table entry. For

SNAX/APN, it is the logon APPLID value.

[#SYSTEM]

returns the name of the system on which the CPU and SEGVOL selection are

performed. If the SYSTEM attribute is present, this built-in function returns its

value. If the SYSTEM attribute is not specified, this built-in function returns the

local system on which the SNAX Creator-2 subsystem is running.
