(Expr,Var1,Var2,numRows,numCols) ⇒
matrix
Returns a matrix based on the arguments.
Expr is an expression in variables Var1 and
Var2. Elements in the resulting matrix are
formed by evaluating Expr for each
incremented value of Var1 and Var2.
Var1 is automatically incremented from 1
through numRows. Within each row, Var2
is incremented from 1 through numCols.

CopyVar Var1, Var2
CopyVar Var1., Var2.
CopyVar Var1, Var2 copies the value of
variable Var1 to variable Var2, creating
Var2 if necessary. Variable Var1 must have
a value.
If Var1 is the name of an existing user-
defined function, copies the definition of
that function to function Var2. Function
Var1 must be defined.
Var1 must meet the variable-naming
requirements or must be an indirection
expression that simplifies to a variable
name meeting the requirements.
CopyVar Var1., Var2. copies all members
of the Var1. variable group to the Var2.
group, creating Var2. if necessary.
Var1. must be the name of an existing
variable group, such as the statistics stat.nn
results, or variables created using the
LibShortcut() function. If Var2. already
exists, this command replaces all members
that are common to both groups and adds
the members that do not already exist. If
one or more members of Var2. are locked,
all members of Var2. are left unchanged.
