Is there a way in PROC to test the @TTY variable and exit if it is equal to phantom?

Sorry, Prime Information guy here, not much PROC.

Jon,

Create a small program that evaluates @TTY and uses PROCWRITE to place it in a PROC buffer. You can then access the PROC buffer directly from the PROC Tghere are other ways, but this methodology is fairly flexible.

PROCWRITE @TTY

PQ
HCHECK.TTY
P
IF A1="phantom" X
