+ | ======Synopsis: | ||
+ | $__getset__(< | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Technical: | ||
+ | * If the <set name> argument is omitted the empty string is returned. | ||
+ | * If the set variable <set name> does not exist, the empty string is returned. | ||
+ | * This function returns the value that would be returned by the "set value" $<set name>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Practical: | ||
+ | The built in set values ($DISPLAY, $INSERT_MODE, | ||
+ | overridden by user variables (eg, /assign DISPLAY testing). | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you need to get the value of the underlying /SET value and not be | ||
+ | thwarted by an assign alias, you can call this function to get the | ||
+ | /SET's value. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Example: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | $builtin_expando(DISPLAY) | ||
+ | $builtin_expando(DEBUG) | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======History: | ||
+ | This function first appeared in EPIC4pre2.400. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Returns: | ||
+ | The value of the set variable $<set name> | ||
