VAF. Command

VAriable with Filename

 

 

Intention

 

This Command can be used to assign a Filename to a variable.

 

'**********************************

' VAF.

'**********************************

VAF.$$FIL=Hallo

DBP.$$FIL

END.

'**********************************

 

Important: If the variable does not contain any path, ?path\ is automatically added to the variable content, to make it a valid path.

 

The VAF.- Command makes a special folder, system-variables and  variable-resolution. It will add ?path\ if there is no valid path given on the value-side. It will not resolve formulas.

Parameter Explanation

P2 - (optional) will be assigned to the variable. If P2 is omitted,

    the variable will be set to empty.

 

Speed in Ticks:

This Command uses typically around 108 Ticks.

'This will clear the variable:

VAF.$$ABC=

 

' and systemvariables:
