VAR

Command

The VAR command declares a temporary variable that contains a single value.

Syntax

VAR varName [= value] ;

varName	Name of the temporary variable.
value	Optional parameter that declares the data value.

You can also use a single VAR command to declare multiple variables by supplying a comma-delimited list of variable names.

Notes

• The name of the variable cannot duplicate a database member name.
• If a value is not declared, it is set to #MISSING.
• VAR commands can only be assigned values within a member calculation or when VAR is declared.

Example

VAR Target = 1200;

VAR Break1, Break2, Break3;
