The string INTEGER is returned if the symbol is equated to an integer, or if the symbol is equated to a string whose characters form a valid integer. If the symbol has been produced by a call to the F$CONTEXT function with a context type of PROCESS or by a call to the F$PID function, the string returned is PROCESS_CONTEXT. A symbol retains this type until F$CONTEXT is called with the symbol and the CANCEL keyword, or until a null string ("") is returned by a call to F$PID. Similarly, the return value is the string CLUSTER_SYSTEM_CONTEXT for symbols created by the F$CSID function. If the symbol is a context symbol, then the return value will be one of the types shown in the following table. Symbol Type Lexical Creating Symbol PROCESS_CONTEXT F$PID or F$CONTEXT (with PROCESS context type) CLUSTER_SYSTEM_ F$CSID CONTEXT The string STRING is returned if the symbol is equated to a character string whose characters do not form a valid integer or whose type is not a context. If the symbol is undefined, a null string is returned.
