Tmp statement

Event_Handler statement - Write Temporary Variable

Format: tmp index "<string>"

Write <string> to temporary variable number index.

• Temporary variables (strings) are numbered 0 to 9.
• Temporary variable lives only within the action string!
• Each variable is a text string, with maximum length of 126 characters
• Temporary variables are read with EventHandler macro %tmp.

Example:

tmp 0 "%sscan(%edi,connect)"   
if %tmp(0)
 $call L%scutf(%tmp(0), ,2) L%scutf(%tmp(0), ,4)   
endif

Note that you can use tmp statement for numeric values also. Just enclose the value in "". Example:

tmp 0 "%op(%tmp(0),+,1)"
if %op(%tmp(0),=,5)
  stop
endif
