How do you check whether an array parameter already exists in APDL in batch mode?

You can use the following *GET command to test if a parameter name exists.

*GET,PRM_TYPE,PARM,name,TYPE !

where "name" is the parameter name. It will return -1 if the name is undefined, 0 if scalar, 1 if array, 2 if table,
3 if character scalar, and 4 if character array.
