List Fields
Managed System-specific information may include List (table) fields. A List field is passed to a script as a string of entries. This string includes specific characters that are designated to separate entries and sub-fields in the list.
The default entry separator value is a comma (,). To specify a value other than the default, assign any printable character to the Managed System parameter SCRIPT_ SEP_ENTRY in the RSSPARM file.
The default sub-field separator value is a semicolon (;). To specify a value other than the default, assign any printable character to the Managed System parameter in SCRIPT_SEP_FIELD in the RSSPARM file.
Example
Given the following:
-
SCRIPT_ SEP_ENTRY is set to ^
-
SCRIPT_SEP_FIELD is set to $
A List field contains the following data:
|
A1 |
A2 |
A3 |
|
B1 |
B2 |
B3 |
|
C1 |
C2 |
C3 |
|
D1 |
D2 |
D3 |
The above table of data values will be passed to the variable in a script as:
A1$A2$A3^B1$B2$B3^C1$C2$C3^D1$D2$D3
