The ASSIGN Statement

ASSIGN,<variable_1>,<variable_2>

[/XCOORD]

[/YCOORD]

[/ZCOORD];

<variable_1> is assigned the same value as <variable_2> and will get the same type as the first one. The maximum length of <variable_1> and <variable_2> is 32 characters. <variable_2> can be an expression or have any of the following types:

INTEGER

DECIMAL

STRING

POINT_2D

LINE_2D

ARC_2D

CONTOUR_2D

CIRCLE_2D

XCOORD

If <variable2> is of type POINT_2D or POINT_3D, then <variable1> can be assigned the x coordinate of <variable2>. This variable will get type DECIMAL.

YCOORD

If <variable2> is of type POINT_2D or POINT_3D, then <variable1> can be assigned the y coordinate of <variable2>. This variable will get type DECIMAL.

ZCOORD

If <variable2> is of type POINT_3D, then <variable1> can be assigned the z coordinate of <variable2>. This variable will get type DECIMAL.
