Used in conjunction with the MNTCON EX|RUN –v syntax, the SYS_MGR.GET_NAMEPARM function returns the value of a keyword parameter passed at the time the Maintain procedure was invoked. If the function is not successful, FOCERROR is set to -1. See also the MNTCON EX and MNTCON RUN commands using the –v option to pass parameters.
The syntax for the SYS_MGR.GET_NAMEPARM command is
MyParm/format = SYS_MGR.GET_NAMEPARM('ParmName')
where:
Is the name of the variable/format that you are assigning to the output of the function.
Is the actual keyword parameter name used when passing the value.
Note: The SYS_MGR.GETNAME_PARM function is case-sensitive. Use the same case for the parameter name when retrieving the value as used when passing it.
MNTCON EX START2 -v ADDR='Cape Canaveral', COUNTRY=USA
Target Maintain procedure START2 could include:
Address/a0=sys_mgr.Get_NameParm('ADDR');Here it returns Cape Canaveral to the variable Address.
