Variable format

 

Set how a variable works

 

This allows control of the allowed range of the answers and helps to avoid errors

 

Select an option from the list box

 

For example, if the variable requires an answer of Y or N enter the format as Boolean. The only answers then allowed are Y or N (or their equivalents in other languages).

 

The formats available for Variables are:-

 

0 - normal, no checking of data

1 - boolean, Y or N are converted to 1 or 0

2 - numerical, value must be a valid dimension

3 - numeric integer
