#VARIABLES Built-In Function

Use #VARIABLES to obtain the names of all variables in your home directory or the

fully qualified names of certain selected variable levels.

BREAKPOINT

specifies that only those variable levels for which debugging breakpoints have

been set are to be listed.

specifies that only the “I/O variables” (variable levels used by processes,

requesters, and servers) are to be listed.

Result

•

If you do not specify an option, #VARIABLES returns a space-separated list of the

unqualified names of all variables in your home directory.

•

If you include the BREAKPOINT option, #VARIABLES returns a space-separated

list of the fully qualified names of all variable levels that have breakpoints set on

them.

•

If you include the I/O option, #VARIABLES returns a space-separated list of the

fully qualified names of the specific variable levels used by processes, #SERVERs,

and #REQUESTERs.

Considerations

•

The variable name list is not alphabetically ordered, but you can use the #SORT

built-in function to make it so.

•

To obtain the names of variables and store them into a variable level, use the

#VARIABLESV built-in function.

#VARIABLES [ / { BREAKPOINT | IO } / ]
