If you want a function or program to perform symbolic calculations,
you must use a global variable instead of a local. However, you must
be certain that the global variable does not already exist outside of
the program. The following methods can help.
¦ Refer to a global variable name, typically with two or more
characters, that is not likely to exist outside of the function or
program.
¦ Include
DelVar
within the function or program to delete the global
variable, if it exists, before referring to it. (
DelVar
does not delete
locked or archived variables.)
