Renaming a Variable
The Rename Variable function lets you change the name of any variable in the WzVariable Tool list.
1. Use MB1 to select one variable in the variable list.
2. Choose Options=>Rename Variable. The Rename Variable dialog box appears.
3. Enter a new name for the variable in the Rename Variable dialog box.
4. Click OK to rename the variable.
 
note
When naming variables using the VDA Tools, be sure to only create valid variable names. A legal variable name has the following characteristics:
*Each name must begin with a letter and may contain from one to 31 characters.
*The second and following characters may be a letter, digit, the underscore character, or the dollar sign.
*A variable name may not contain embedded spaces.
*A variable may not have the same name as a function or reserved word. A list of reserved words may be found in the PV‑WAVE Programmer’s Guide.
A variable created with a name that violates these rules will behave in an undefined manner.
