About this task

Administering variables and implementing them in your vectors is a relatively simple process:

Procedure

  1. First, determine how you intend to use the new variable and identify its defining characteristics. Use this information to decide on an available variable type that meets your needs.
  2. Type change variables.

    The system displays the Variables for Vectors screen.

  3. In the Var column, select an unused letter between A and Z. This letter is used to represent this variable in vector steps. Complete the editable fields in the row that you select. Depending on your entry in the Type field, some fields in the row may be pre-populated and display-only, or not applicable.
    • Description - a short description of your variable

    • Type - the variable type

    • Scope - local or global

    • Length - length of the digit string

    • Start - digit start position

    • Assignment - pre-assigned value

    • VAC - Variable Access Code (for value variable type only)
