Return value

Arguments
id
The ID of the symbol table. (n)

entry_name

Discussion
The %NSPC_GETDATA function retrieves the data for an entry within a symbol table.
If D_NSPC_CASE was not specified when the symbol table was created, the entry_name returned is all in one case, either upper or lower, depending on the search engine in the environment.
Data can be up to 100 characters in length, as defined in %NSPC_OPEN.
We recommend that you XCALL NSPC_GETDATA instead of accessing it as a function.

xcall nspc_getdata(user_id, user, user_data, username)
