NOTE
The variable name entered must be unique for the algorithm group and must not match any of
the reserved keywords.

Enter a variable definition. Click next to the variable definition to display a list of currently defined variables,
constants, and keywords.
TIP
Use the Algorithmic Syntax on page 91 rules to help you create the variable definition.

Select the variable format. If you choose a format type of number or scientific notation, you need to specify the number
of decimal places you want displayed and if you want this to be a fixed number.
The format options are: general, number, comma separated number, scientific notation, coefficient, coefficient (1st), or
metric. If the variable is a string type variable, the format used will be general.
The examples shown below illustrate how numbers are displayed with different format types:
