Syntax:

&DEFVAL

&defval      &Defval

&DEFVAL is an abbreviation that executes faster than the equivalent, more explicit code.

You can replace the following code:

% REPEAT VARYING &SC-I FROM 1
% WHILE &DEFINED( &<&SCR>-FLD-<&SC-I>)
    % &VAR = &<&SCR>-FLD-<&SC-I>
% END

With this code.

% REPEAT VARYING &SC-I FROM 1
% WHILE &DEFINED( &<&SCR>-FLD-<&SC-I>)
    % &VAR = &DEFVAL
% END
