12.2.3 Function Only Variables

These system variables can only be used in RDML functions and RDMLX logic. They have no meaning in any other part of the system (that is, they cannot be used as the default on a field defined in the repository). If you use these variables in another context, this value will be returned:

       "## XXXXXXX description not available ##"

System Variable Description Type Length Dec *COMPONENT_DESC Description of the active component when referenced in or from RDMLX logic. When referenced in a non-component context, this value is equivalent to *FUNCTION_DESC. A 40   *FUNCTION_DESC Function or component description (Function use only) A 40   *PROCESS_DESC Process or component description (Function use only) A 40

 

Note: System variables *FUNCTION_DESC and *PROCESS_DESC are supplied in the current language and centered on IBM i and left aligned in Windows.
