Issue/Introduction

We need to check the value of a variable that was put in an ESP global variable table using the VPUT command.

For example:

VPUT somevar TABLE(somevartable) CLANG

Environment

OPS/MVS ESP WA

Resolution

The VTLIST command can be issued from an OPS/REXX program to list the value of a variable.

For example:

waeecmd = "VTLIST somevartable VARS(somevar)"
address ESP                         
"Subsys(ESP);"waeecmd               
say 'RC of cmd 'waeecmd'='rc        
cmdoutlines = QUEUED()             
say 'Collected output for 'waeecmd':'   
do cmdoutlines                       
 pull cmdout                          
 say ' ***>'cmdout                    
end
