%%EXTWTR

The report name can be retrieved from the External Writer name. The format is

DO NAME = %%EXTWTR[(startpos,length)]

where

• startpos is the starting (first column) position of the extract
• length is the number of characters to extract

Example

ON CLASS ABC EXTWTR $* . . .

        DO NAME = %%EXTWTR(5,3)

Note: $* in ON CLASS parameter EXTWTR is a mask resulting in decollation of all outputs with a writer name starting with $.
