Environment Variable Mapping

Each value enclosed with angle brackets (<>) is replaced with the corresponding environment variable (<LANG>). This feature is available at each starting point of a lexeme and inside of a normal string.

If the environment variable is not defined the replacements below are still possible:

• <SYSUID> - Current user id in upper case
• <USER> - Current user id (case sensitive)
• <CUSER> - Current user id in upper case == <SYSUID>
• <Cuser> - Current user id in title case
• <cuser> - Current user id in lower case
• <HOSTNAME> - The current host name of the system
• <ENVID> - The environment ID (default is T for test)
• <HOME> - Replaces with the user's data directory, if this is not available the replacements below are done:
  • On UNIX with /home/<USER>
  • On USS with /u/<USER>
  • On ZOS with <SYSUID>

Additionally a few abbreviations are supported for different kinds of strings.

• '~' for <HOME> in file strings
• '!' for <ENVID> in key labels
• '~' for <SYSUID> in key labels
• '^' for <OWNERID> in key labels

All these abbreviation characters have different code points in EBCDIC code pages and can only be used if the CCSID is known by CLP, see chapter special EBCDIC code page support for how the CCSID can be defined for CLP.
