DEFAULT.SRC displays the message group and sub-board in a prompt using @GRP@ and @SN@. There are similar codes in the file-area prompt.
What if I need a Baja program to know these values and branch
accordingly? Can I access them other than just displaying them? I
don't see anything in the system variables that provides them.
Yes there is:
Use the same format, of course always use CAPS and bracket with percent signs.
