^$GLOBAL

1995 Version of ANSI (Equivalent to Current ISO Version) of Standard

7.1.3.3 ^$Global

^$G[LOBAL] ( gvnexpr )

    gvnexpr::= expr V gvn

^$Global provides information about the existence and characteristics of globals.

When and only when a global identified by gvnexpr exists, ^$Global(gvnexpr) has a value; all nonempty string values are reserved for future extension of the standard. Global characteristic information is stored beneath the ^$Global(gvnexpr) node:

^$Global( gvnexpr , expr V "CHARACTER") = charsetexpr

This node identifies the Character Set Profile of the specified global. When the first node in a global is created, and the node ^$Global(gvnexpr,"CHARACTER") has a $Data value of zero, the value assigned is that of ^$Job($Job,"CHARACTER"). The result of killing a gvn does not alter the characteristics stored in ^$Global for that gvn.
