Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
ADM Reference

> ## {get} and {set} pseudo-functions

> In addition to the conventional `get` and `set` functions, the ADM supports a pseudo-function syntax for use in super-procedure files particularly. These pseudo-functions are implemented by the include files `get` and `set` (not `get.i` or `set.i`) located in the `tty` and `gui` directories.

> A call to`{get}` takes one of the following forms:

>     {get propname returnvar}.
>     {get propname returnvar ownerhandle}

> Where `propname` is the property name in the `TARGET-PROCEDURE` object and `returnvar` is the variable into which the value is to be returned. If the property does not belong to the `TARGET-PROCEDURE` object, provide the appropriate handle in `ownerhandle`.

> The `{set}` syntax is very similar:

>     {set propname newvalue}
>     {set propname newvalue ownerhandle}

> The only difference between `{get}` and `{set}` syntax is that the second `{set}` argument is the new value for the property.
