$MVname Special Variables by Name
Caché special variables corresponding to MultiValue system variables.
Synopsis
$MVname
Parameter
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name | The name of the MultiValue special variable. In most cases, this name corresponds to a MultiValue @name system variable. For example, $MVAM corresponds to @AM. |
Description
$MVname provides ObjectScript equivalents for many Caché MVBasic system variables. It also provides additional MultiValue special variables not found in Caché MVBasic.
The following correspondences table lists the $MVname special variable, the Caché MultiValue Basic system variable, and the $MVV(n) special variable. If there is no corresponding special variable, the table item is left blank. For definitions of these special variables, refer to System Variables in the Caché MultiValue Basic Reference.
