Global Variables

Global variables are user-defined variables that can be used to share information between different features of Control-O. These variables can also be referenced by other INCONTROL products active at your site. A primary usage of the Global variables is to set globally accessed flags or counters (such as the current IMS reply number).

Global variables are contained in the Global AutoEdit library and in AutoEdit variable databases. Global variables are loaded when Control-O is started. For more information on the Global AutoEdit library see the Control-O chapter in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide. For more information on AutoEdit variable databases see IOA Variables Database Facility.

XAE databases can be used for sharing variables across the Sysplex. XAE databases are defined and administered by the INCONTROL administrator. For more information, see Using an XAE AutoEdit Variable Database.
