Some System params return the state/effect of some operation that was previously performed. Like SYSTEM(11) is only useful after a SELECT. Just printing the values of SYSTEM(N) could return very boring results unless something is done before the call to SYSTEM(). Also, there may be undocumented ways to use: ASSIGN var TO SYSTEM(N) And who knows... If you're checking all buffers from SYSTEM(9000) to SYSTEM(9999), maybe every value of zero that you see is a very meaningful value: 9042, Number of tape errors since boot = 0 9246, Number of file system corruptions this session = 0 9592, Number of failed disk writes = 0 ... (Made up info) Sometimes it's good for IT to be less than exciting.
