Hai César,

It's a system variable that contains the block status. It's called :system.block_status.
Possible values:

CHANGED     The block contains at least one changed record.
NEW     The block contains only new records.
QUERY     The block contains only valid records retrieved from the database.

But I guess you want to know the system mode. The system mode indicates whether your form is in normal mode, enter-query mode or query mode.

SYSTEM.MODE indicates whether the form is in Normal, Enter Query, or Fetch Processing mode. The value is
always a character string.

NORMAL Indicates that the form is currently in normal processing mode.

ENTER-QUERY Indicates that the form is currently in Enter Query mode.

QUERY Indicates that the form is currently in fetch processing mode, meaning that a query is
currently being processed.

sUCCes,
