Reserved Variables
Reserved variables include result variables (that is, result of macro execution) and status variables
(For example, pair status of specified volume). The reserved variables are for reference use only.
Reserved Result Variables
When a functional macro is executed (for example, CreateHrcPair), a result value (_Result) is issued.
“Result Statement Format” (page 239) illustrates the result statement format, and “Reserved Result
Variables” (page 239) lists and defines the valid result values. When a new macro is initiated, the
result value automatically resets to 0x0000. The functional macro executes on the specified number
of devices. If the macro does not satisfy the execution condition, a conditional error occurs. If a
conditional error is found, the result value is OR'ed with 0x1000, and the macro is logged in the
error and macro trace files. If the return value of the API (application program interface) is not 0,
an API error occurs. If an API error occurs, the result value is OR'ed with 0x0100, and the macro
is logged in the error and macro trace files.
