Details

SETPARMID stores a value, and GETPARMID retrieves the stored value. SETPARMID and GETPARMID allow only one value to be passed. To pass multiple values between entries, use the ENTRY statement. Additional ways of making values available to other SCL programs include using macro variables and SCL lists.
