Jan -
Try this:
SET VAR vd1 INTEGER (or whatever datatype the original variable is)
SET VAR vd1txt TEXT
IF vd1 IS NOT NULL THEN
SET VAR vd1txt = (CTXT(.vd1))
ELSE
SET VAR vd1txt = NULL
ENDIF
That will define the variable if it's not already in existence without
changing its value if it is.

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Variable question
What syntax can I use to create a variable if I check for the existance of a
variable?
I'm trying to pass parameters that may not exist. So if they dont exist
create them.
I've tried
IF vd1 EXISTS THEN
SET VAR vd1txt = (CTXT(.vd1))
ELSE
SET VAR vd1txt = NULL
ENDIF
but since vd1 doesn't exist it errors out. Turning off error messages
doesn't help.
So is there a way to create a variable based on the fact that another
variable exists or not?
Jan
