Accessing data

• %D locates the data of the current nested program and also data having the GLOBAL attribute that is not locally concealed, i.e. it is possible to access the same data that the program itself can also access at this point.

• %SD can be used to give the data of all the surrounding programs, in accordance with the current call hierarchy.

• The PROC qualification can be used to specifically access one item of data from a different program.

  %D PROC=program-id-contained.data-item

  %SD is also possible here instead of %D provided the item of data lies in a calling program.

Depending on how the program is nested, the PROC qualification can be repeated more than once when accessing both test points and data.
