<h1 class="topictitle1">Equate a name with a variable, expression, or command</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>You can use the EQUATE debug command to equate a name with a variable,
|
||
|
|
expression or debug command for shorthand use. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>You can then use that name alone or within another expression.
|
||
|
|
If you use it within another expression, the value of the name is
|
||
|
|
determined before the expression is evaluated. These names stay active until
|
||
|
|
a debug session ends or a name is removed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To equate a name with a variable,
|
||
|
|
expression or debug command, type the following on the debug command line:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>EQUATE shorthand-name definition</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="synph"><span class="var">shorthand-name</span></span> is the name that you
|
||
|
|
want to equate with a variable, expression, or debug command, and <span class="synph"><span class="var">definition</span></span> is
|
||
|
|
the variable, expression, or debug command that you are equating with the
|
||
|
|
name.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, to define a shorthand name called <span class="synph"><span class="var">DC</span></span> that
|
||
|
|
displays the contents of a variable called <span class="synph"><span class="var">&COUNTER</span></span>,
|
||
|
|
type the following on the debug command line: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>EQUATE DC EVAL &COUNTER</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Now, each time <span class="synph"><span class="var">DC</span></span> is typed on the
|
||
|
|
debug command line, the command EVAL <span class="synph"><span class="var">&COUNTER</span></span> is
|
||
|
|
performed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The maximum number of characters that can be typed in an
|
||
|
|
EQUATE command is 144. If a definition is not supplied and a previous EQUATE
|
||
|
|
command defined the name, the previous definition is removed. If the name
|
||
|
|
was not previously defined, an error message is shown.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To see the names
|
||
|
|
that have been defined with the EQUATE debug command for a debug session,
|
||
|
|
type the following on the debug command line: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>DISPLAY EQUATE</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>A list of the active names is shown on the Evaluate Expression
|
||
|
|
display.</p>
