Displaying and Editing Custom Variable Attributes

Custom variable attributes can be displayed and edited in the Data Editor in Variable View.

• Custom variable attribute names are enclosed in square brackets.
• Attribute names that begin with a dollar sign are reserved and cannot be modified.
• A blank cell indicates that the attribute does not exist for that variable; the text Empty displayed in a cell indicates that the attribute exists for that variable but no value has been assigned to the attribute for that variable. Once you enter text in the cell, the attribute exists for that variable with the value you enter.
• The text Array... displayed in a cell indicates that this is an attribute array--an attribute that contains multiple values. Click the button in the cell to display the list of values.

To Display and Edit Custom Variable Attributes

1. In Variable View, from the menus choose:

   View > Customize Variable View...

2. Select (check) the custom variable attributes you want to display. (The custom variable attributes are the ones enclosed in square brackets.)

Once the attributes are displayed in Variable View, you can edit them directly in the Data Editor.
