The setting of some user-specific SET parameters can be determined and changed by the function SET. The changes have an effect on the SET parameters of the current application and do not affect the settings in the workbench.
If SET is called with a parameter, it returns the value of the specified SET parameter.
Example:
lang := SET ( LANGUAGE );
If SET is called with two parameters, it sets the value of the SET parameter (of the first parameter of the SET function) to the value of the second parameter.
SET ( DATE, ISO );
SET ( NULLVALUE, '?' );
SET ( DECIMAL, '//./' );
SET ( PRESENTATION, 'BLACK' );
All settings are valid immediately after the SET function has been executed.
The following table contains the valid descriptors and values of the individual SET parameters.
