Description
The ONSOURCE function returns a character string whose value is the context of the field that was being processed when the CONVERSION condition was signaled.
The ONSOURCE function can be used in an ON-unit established for a CONVERSION condition. It can also be used for an ERROR ON-unit that obtains control as the result of unsuccessful error correction in the CONVERSION ON-unit.
The returned value is a varying-length character string.
