QTIPS - Guaranteed Variable Assignment

The system function UNASSIGNED (Vol 1 Issue 1) is most often used within a program to trap and assign to null, unassigned variables e.g.


0001    DECLARE FUNCTION UNASSIGNED
0002    IF UNASSIGNED(X) THEN X= ""

A new system function GUAR_ASSIGN can be used to take the place of the above code. Passed a variable, it returns the value of the variable if it is assigned. or null if it is unassigned. i.e.


0001    DECLARE FUNCTION GUAR_ASSIGN
0002    X = GUAR_ASSIGN(X)
