Displaying variables
This panel displays a scrollable listing of all TSO variables of the currently executing EXEC, accompanied by all variables found in the
BMC AMI Ops Automation

In addition, all variables that are contained in the PROFILE, SHARED, PROFILE TEST, and SHARED TEST pool may be shown.
Issuing the primary command V on the COMMAND line of the EXEC Testing Control panel invokes the panel shown in the following figure.

************************* END OF DATA **************************
Two input fields allow you to narrow the focus down to the variables of interest. You can specify a pattern in the column labeled VARIABLE NAME that all variables to be displayed must match; for example, entering IMF* (or IMF for short) displays only all variables beginning with these three characters.
If you enter a pattern that ends with a dash ( - ), you must enter an asterisk after the dash. For example:
The input field in the column titled POOL accepts either a full or a pattern specification for one of the following values:
Value | Interpretation |
|---|---|
TSO | Standard REXX or CLIST variable |
LOCL | Local BMC AMI OpsA pool |
SHAR | SHARED BMC AMI OpsA pool |
PROF | PROFILE BMC AMI OpsA pool |
SHRT | SHARED TEST BMC AMI OpsA pool |
PRFT | PROFILE TEST BMC AMI OpsA pool |
For example, specifying P* displays all variables currently contained in the PROFILE and PROFILE TEST pools. This display can be scrolled right and left to show the full value of a variable.
The following line commands can be entered in the input fields in the column labeled LC:
Command | Interpretation |
|---|---|
S | Select this variable for update or display . |
D | Delete this variable . |
The ADD primary command may be used to add additional variables to a particular pool. PROFILE and SHARED variables may be displayed but not deleted or modified. See Overview-for-the-EXEC-Testing-Facility for an explanation of this restriction.
