setVar(name,value)

Sets (or creates) a variable with given name and value

Syntax

setVar(name,value)

name: scalar Text - name of variable to be set (or created)

value: any any - value of the variable to be set (or created)

return: none

Usage

Use this to set an existing variable or create a new one automatically.

Location

menu: veeos ==> Data ==> setVar

library: dataLib

Example

setVar("myvar", 567) sets the variable myvar to the value 567.

Notes

One can of course create a new variable using a Set Variable object, and one can set a value using an assignment operator. This function essentially combines both features by setting the named variable if it already exists but also automatically creating a new variable if needed.
