Variable

The Variable command element specifies properties of a variable syntax object.

Components of Variable

A group view displays the components of the Variable command element.

The Variable command element can have a Find attribute and a RelativeTypeName or DefaultSyntaxValue command elements.

Component	Description
Find	YES: Specifies to find the value of the variable delimiter. NO: Default setting. Specifies not to find the item delimiter. Use the last value found or the default value of the variable delimiter.
RelativeTypeName	Specifies the relative type name of the syntax item used as the separator. A relative type name is a series of simple type names separated by spaces.
DefaultSyntaxValue	Specifies the literal used as a default whenever a value for the syntax item has not been set in the data. If unprintable, enter as symbolic values. If entering a symbolic value in a map rule to be interpreted by the Type Tree Maker, separate the first character from the rest. For example, `"<" + "CR>"` or `"<CR>"`
