<div><p>This example shows how to retrieve a data area and copy it into
a variable.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The following example of the <span class="cmdname">Retrieve Data Area (RTVDTAARA)</span> command
places the specified contents of a 5-character data area into a 3-character
variable. This example: </p>
<ul><li>Creates a 5-character data area named DA1 (in library MYLIB) with the
initial value of <samp class="codeph">'ABCDE'</samp></li>
<li>Declares a 3-character variable named &amp;CLVAR1</li>
<li>Copies the contents of the last three positions of DA1 into &amp;CLVAR1</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>To do this, the following commands would be entered:
</p>
<pre>CRTDTAARA DTAARA(MYLIB/DA1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(5) VALUE(ABCDE)
.
.
.
DCL VAR(&amp;CLVAR1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(3)
RTVDTAARA DTAARA(MYLIB/DA1 (3 3)) RTNVAR(&amp;CLVAR1)</pre>
