&SYSDLM

&SYSDLM ("DLM" is for delimiter) contains a number that identifies the position (first, second, third, and so on) of the TERMIN or TERMING statement character string entered by the user to return control to the CLIST.

You can use this variable to determine what action should be taken when the user returns control to the CLIST, based on the string chosen. For example, the following statements inform the user what is requested (WRITE), pass control to the terminal and establish valid control character strings (TERMIN or TERMING), and determine the subsequent action based on the string entered.
