Programme variables

Postby niluki » Tue Mar 20, 2012 10:15 am

Hi,

I want to know if there is a way of checking what object/value is actually stored in a program variable?
For eg: if I say
%lastdate = "2011m06" or
!val=@datediff(@dateval("%lastdate","yyyy[m]MM"),@dateval("%startdate","yyyy[m]MM"),"mm")
how can I check what values are stored in %lastdate and !val? and the type? As these objects are not displayed in the workfile.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

You can either assign them to an object in the workfile (a scalar, a string or a table), or use the sendstatus command to see them in the status bar.
