version 3


Is a variable (aPointer) Boolean

ParameterTypeDescription
aPointerPointerPointer to be tested
Function resultBooleanTRUE = Pointer points to a variable
FALSE = Pointer does not point to a variable

Description

The Is a variable command returns True if the pointer you pass in aPointer references a defined variable. It returns False in all other cases (pointer to field or table, Nil pointer, and so on).

Starting with version 6, instead of using Is a variable, it will be more convenient to use RESOLVE POINTER, which tells you about the nature of the referenced object, no matter what the object is (including the case of Nil pointers).
