Is it possible to set a variable name to include the current year?
For example:
set vCurrentYear=year(today());
set v&$(vCurrentYear)&Parm1 = .05;
I want this to evaluate to v2016Parm1=.05.
Thanks,
Mike
You are right. I totally misread the question. I believe the solution would be:
Let vCurrentYear=year(today());
set v$(vCurrentYear)Parm1 = .05;
-Rob
LET vMyVar = 'v' & $(vCurrentYear)& 'Parm1 = .05';
-Rob
So wouldn't this create a vMyVar variable with 'v2016Parm1 = .05' as value instead of a v2016Parm1 variable with '.05' as value?
Or you just need to use $(vMyVar) in place of the whole variable in the desired expression?

Thanks Rob,
The proper syntax was really getting me here and I couldn't find another post on this.
I really appreciate it.

I have one additional question about this topic: Does my variable need to be script defined? I tried defining it in the app and couldn't get it to evaluate correctly.
Thanks,
Mike
I don't think there is any way to use a dynamic variable name from the UI Variable Overview.

Thanks for confirming
Really helped me get a timestamp variable for each tab in my script. Thank you Rob!
// MAIN TAB
LET vTAB = 0;
// EVERY TAB IN SCRIPT
LET vTAB = $(vTAB)+1;
LET vTimeTab_$(vTAB) = TIMESTAMP(NOW());
