Syntax	{Flash.routine.name:}/variable {Flash.routine.name:}/dim.array.variable {Flash.routine.name:}/dim.array.variable(vector.number) {Flash.routine.name:}/dim.array.variable(row.num,col.num) /*
Category	BASIC Debugger
Type	Command
Description	reference, and optionally alter the contents of, variables within the runtime code being executed.
Options
See Also	debugger b k d t u \
Example	/variable This accesses a plain variable and displays its current value. /dim.array.variable This displays each element of a dimensioned array. If a dimensioned array is referenced without a subscript, each element is displayed, one at a time. To exit this display without stepping through all the locations, hit the <break> key, or enter any non-null value. The non-null value will not replace any location displayed. The contents of the array can NOT be altered. /dim.array.variable(subscript) This accesses a single-dimensioned array variable. With the subscript designated, only that element is displayed. This can also access a two-dimensional array and assumes the second subscript is 1. /dim.array.variable(row.num,col.num) This accesses a specific location of a two-dimensional array. / This displays the current assignment of every variable in the program. Typically, programs have a lot of variables. This function does NOT paginate, which results in having the variables fly by on the screen and not being very useful, unless the reader happens to be a speed reader. The <break> key will interrupt this "runaway" variable display and return to the debugger prompt character. In each of the above cases (except the "/dim.array.variable" form), the operator is given the opportunity to change the requested value. If a <return> is entered at the "=" prompt, the symbol remains unchanged. Otherwise, any value entered is placed into the variable.
Warnings	The "Flash.routine.name" can only be specified if the program has been optimized through the FlashBASIC compiler (see the "o" option under the "compile" command). When a "Flash.routine.name" is specified, the corresponding debugger command is executed against the specified routine. The ":" (colon) separating the "Flash.routine.name" and the debugger command is required.
