VGET—retrieve variables from a pool or profile or system symbol

The VGET service copies values from dialog variables in the shared pool or the application profile pool to the function pool variables with the same names. If a named function variable already exists, it is updated. If not, it is created as an implicit function variable, and then updated.

The VGET service can also copy values from system symbols. By default each function variable is created with the same name as the corresponding system symbol, but you can specify a different name.
