Using the Variable Manager

(3)On the dialog box, tap the down arrow button and then select the data type from the list that appears.

To display variables for all data types, select [All].

For details about data type names and variables, see “Variable Data Types” on page 1-7-3.

(4)After selecting the data type you want, tap [OK] to apply it or [Cancel] to exit the selection dialog box without changing the current setting.

Tip

Returning to the folder list or exiting the Variable Manager causes the data type to change to the initial default setting, which is [All].

Performing this operation clears the check boxes for all of the variables inside the applicable folder.

kSelecting a Variable

Before you can copy, delete, or perform any other operation on a variable, you must first select it.

uTo select or deselect a variable

(1)In the Variable Manager, open any folder to display a variable list of its contents.

(2)Perform one of the operations described below to select or deselect a variable.

To do this:

Do this:

 

 

Select a single variableSelect the check box next to the variable name.

 

 

Deselect a single variableClear the check box next to the variable name.

 

 

Select all the variables in the list

Tap [All] and then [Select All].

 

 

Deselect all the variables in the list

Tap [All] and then [Deselect All].

 

 

Tip

If no check box is currently selected on the variable list, any variable operation that is performed affects the variable whose name is currently highlighted on the list. If any variable check box is currently selected, only that variable is affected by a variable operation, and the variable whose name is highlighted on the list is not affected.

The selected/deselected status of a variable is retained, even when you return from the variable list to the folder list. Exiting the Variable Manager or changing the data type selection, however, causes all variables to be deselected.

When renaming a variable, only the variable whose name is highlighted on the variable list is renamed. If other variables are selected (checked), they will not be affected.
