&SYSTIME System Variable Symbol
Notes:
1. If the TERM user exit provides the terminal data set information then the value
in &SYSTERM_VOLUME is the value extracted from the Exit-Specific
Information block described in the HLASM Programmer's Guide.
2. The value of the type attribute of &SYSTERM_VOLUME
(T'&SYSTERM_VOLUME) is U, unless &SYSTERM_VOLUME is assigned a
null character string, in which case the value of the type attribute is O.
3. The value of the count attribute of &SYSTERM_VOLUME
(K'&SYSTERM_VOLUME) is equal to the number of characters assigned as a
value to &SYSTERM_VOLUME. If &SYSTERM_VOLUME is assigned a null
character string, the value of the count attribute is 0. The maximum length of
this system variable symbol is 6.
&SYSTIME System Variable Symbol
Use &SYSTIME to obtain the time at which your source module is assembled. It
has local scope, but can be used in open code. It is assigned a read-only value.
The value of &SYSTIME is a 5-character string in the format:
HH.MM
where:
HH is two-digit field that gives the hour of the day. It has a value between 00
and 23, inclusive.
MM is two-digit field that gives the minute of the hour. It has a value between 00
and 59, inclusive. It is separated from HH by a period.
Example:
9.45
Notes:
1. The time corresponds to the time printed in the page heading of listings and
remains constant for each assembly.
2. The value of the type attribute of &SYSTIME (T'&SYSTIME) is always U.
3. The value of the count attribute (K'&SYSTIME) is always 5.
&SYSVER System Variable Symbol
Use &SYSVER to obtain the version, release, and modification level of the
assembler being used to assemble your source module. &SYSVER has a global
scope. For example, when IBM High Level Assembler for MVS & VM & VSE
Release 5.0 is used, &SYSVER has the value 1.5.0.
Notes:
1. The value of the type attribute of &SYSVER (T'&SYSVER) is always U.
2. The value of the count attribute (K'&SYSVER) is the number of characters
assigned. In the above example, the count attribute of &SYSVER is 5.
