DT^DICRW: Required Variables

Sets up the required variables of VA FileMan. There are no input variables; simply call the routine at this entry point.

NOTE: This entry point kills the variables DIC and DIK.

Output Variables
DUZ

Set to zero if it is not already defined.

DUZ(0)

Set to null if not already defined. If DUZ(0)="@", this subroutine will enable terminal break if the operating system supports such functionality.

IO(0)

Set to $I if IO(0) is not defined. Therefore, this program should not be called if the user is on a device different from the home terminal and IO(0) is undefined.

DT

Set to the current date, in VA FileMan format.

U

Set to the up-arrow ("^").
