**xcall MIAMEX, MX\_SBRFLG, opcode, flags1 \{flags2\}**

MX\_SBRFLG (MIAMEX 123) is used to programmatically retrieve and/or set A-Shell system options that are normally set with the SBR= statement in miame.ini.  See the system parameter [SBR](sbr_sp.md) for more detailed descriptions of the various flags. An example is provided after the tables.

This function has both a [subroutine and a print tab implementation](subroutine-print-pairs.md).

**Parameters**

_opcode_  ([Num](num.md))  \[in\]

0 (MXOP\_GET) to retrieve the current flags, 1 (MXOP\_SET) to set them

_flags1_  (B,4 of F)  \[in/out\]

_flags2_  (B,4 of F)  \[in/out\]

Note that for opcode 1, if flags2 not specified, no changes will be made to those flags; in other words, the absence of the _flags2_ parameter is not equivalent to a parameter containing zero.

**Example**

To retrieve the current SBR= flags and then set or clear the SUBMIT2 flag:

map1 sbrflags1,b,4

map1 sbrflags2,b,4



    xcall MIAMEX, MX\_SBRFLG, MXOP\_GET, sbrflags1, sbrflags2   \! retrieve

    sbrflags1 = sbrflags1 or SBRF\_SUBMIT2                     \! set SUBMIT2

or

    sbrflags1 = sbrflags1 and not SBRF\_SUBMIT2                \! clear SUBMIT2

    xcall MIAMEX, MX\_SBRFLG, MXOP\_SET, sbrflags1, sbrflags2   \! set



**Comments**

MX\_SBRFLG normally only operates relative to the server. In the ATE environment, use the AG\_SBRFLAGS command to retrieve/set the client flags.
