WSETVAR command

Assigns a value to a document variable in the current Word document.

Syntax

CHGVAR	VAR(&CMD) VALUE('WSETVAR')
CHGVAR	VAR(&PARM1) VALUE(' [Variable="Variable name"] [;Value="Value"] [;Update=True/False] ')
CHGVAR	VAR(&PARM2) VALUE(' ')
CALL	PGM(LNCCMD) PARM(&HANDLE &CMD &OPT &PARM1 + &PARM2 &RESULT)

Parameters

Parm1

Variable: Name of the variable of the document.
If no name is specified, only the Update property will be taken into consideration.

Value: The text to assign to the variable.

Update: Allows you to update all fields and variables in the document if True is specified.

Parm2

Parm2 can contain the value to be assigned to the variable if it was not given in Parm1.

Note

The Word document variable, modified by the WSETVAR command, can then be used in VBA code.

Suppose we execute the following commands:

LNCCMD CMD (WSETVAR) PARM1 ('variable = "A"; value = "100"')

LNCCMD CMD (WSETVAR) PARM1 ('VARIABLE = "B"; VALUE = "3"')

In VBA, variables can be retrieved as follows:

ActiveDocument.Variables.Item( "A")

ActiveDocument.Variables.Item( "B")

Example

In this example the "Sir" value is assigned to the "Civil" variable.

CHGVAR	VAR(&CMD) VALUE('WSETVAR')
CHGVAR	VAR(&PARM1) VALUE('Variable="Civil";Value="Sir"')
CHGVAR	VAR(&PARM2) VALUE(' ')
CALL	PGM(LNCCMD) PARM(&HANDLE &CMD &OPT &PARM1 + &PARM2 &RESULT)
