Is there any way you can trap the error message and use it somehow, like a particular SQL value?

No, because I want it for the case where it doesn't exist yet or was cleared but the rest of the command file requires the variable.

Would this work they way you envision? I think you will still need to predefine the variable.
SET VAR V1 = NULL -- SET VAR VENDKEY TEXT -- IF V1 IS NULL THEN -- DIALOG 'Enter value for v1' v1 vEndKey 1 -- ENDIF -- RETURN
Hope this helps.

I want to be able to find out if a variable exists and if not to create
it and then pronpt the user to assign a value to it.
I thought I could do something like :
IF (IFEXIST(v1,.v1,NULL)) IS NULL THEN DIALOG 'Enter value for v1' v1 vEndKey 1 ENDIF
But I get an error message telling me v1 doesnt exist, Right! I know.
