The name of the variable you want to create. - uValue

The value to assign to the variable.
Return Value
Type:
Usual

uValue.
Remarks
If a memory variable called
cVarName does not exits, a memory variable called
cVarName is created.
Therefore, MemVarPut(), like VarPut() can be used to create undeclared memory variables.
It should be used instead of a macro.
Tip |
---|
This function allows the direct manipulation of a memory location and should be used with extreme care.

Remarks Tip |
---|
Dynamic memory variables (PUBLIC, PRIVATE, PARAMETERS) are supported in the X# language and runtime for compatibility only.
In most cases the type can and should be replaced with lexically scoped variables, such as LOCALs and GLOBALs.

Examples
This example uses MemVarPut() to create a memory variable:
1LOCAL cHasName AS STRING
2cHasName := "cPrivate"
3
4MemVarPut(cHasName, "new")
5? cPrivate
This example shows that the newly created variable is a MEMVAR:
1MemVarPut("cVar", "hi")
2? _MEMVAR->cVar
