VGVar

The qualifier VGVar can precede the name of each EGL system variable listed in the next table. These variables are useful primarily in applications migrated from VisualAge® Generator.

System variable Description
currentFormattedGregorianDate Contains the current system date in long Gregorian format.
currentFormattedJulianDate Contains the current system date in long Julian format.
currentFormattedTime Contains the current system time in HH:mm:ss format.
currentGregorianDate Contains the current system date in eight-digit Gregorian format (yyyyMMdd).
currentJulianDate Contains the current system date in seven-digit Julian format (yyyyDDD). Avoid using this variable, which exists to support code migration from VisualAge Generator to EGL.
currentShortGregorianDate Contains the current system date in six-digit Gregorian format (yyMMdd). Avoid using this variable, which exists to support code migration from VisualAge Generator to EGL.
currentShortJulianDate Contains the current system date in five-digit Julian format (yyDDD). Avoid using this variable, which exists to support code migration from VisualAge Generator to EGL.
handleHardIOErrors Controls whether a program continues to run after a hard error occurs on an I/O operation in a try block.
handleOverflow Controls error processing after an arithmetic overflow.
handleSysLibraryErrors Specifies whether the value of system variable SysVar.errorCode is affected by the invocation of a system function.
mqConditionCode Contains the completion code from an MQSeries® API call following an add or get next I/O operation for an MQ record.
sqlerrd Six-element array, where each element contains the corresponding SQL communication area (SQLCA) value that was returned from the last SQL I/O option.
sqlerrmc Contains the substitution variables for the error message associated with the return code in SysVar.sqlcode.
sqlIsolationLevel Indicates the level of independence of one database transaction from another.
sqlWarn Eleven-element array, where each element contains a warning byte returned in the SQL communications area (SQLCA) for the last SQL I/O operation and where the index is one greater that the warning number in the SQL SQLCA description.
