| String System Variable | |
| Contents | String, two-character OS process identifier. |
| Description | This system variable can be used to obtain a two-character 16-bit binary operating system group or Process ID (PID). |
| Examples | Obtain the 16-bit UNIX Process ID by using: ->pid=dec($00$+gid) ->?pid 30633 For larger values (e.g., 32-bit), refer to TCB(89)under the TCB( ) Function. TCB(89)returns the numeric value of the current PID. Use this as a replacement for DEC($00$+GID)to retrieve the current PID value. |
