Greetings, I'm having trouble finding answers as to how to do something specific.

I have a parameter with the name of a variable in it. I want to set the value of the inner variable to X.

Example:

$STAT_NAME = "Access";

I want to set the Access variable to 10;

I've tried a bunch of things including using #VAR and expanding the variable. Thus far nothing has worked a few things have caused the alias this sits in to not function all. can anyone point me in a direction?

Thanks

Try;
$STAT_NAME = "Access"
#var %eval($STAT_NAME) "NewValue"

There's some examples in the manual, #VARIABLE.

The solution is in an example on #VARIABLE manual:

$STAT_NAME="Access"
#VAR %eval($STAT_NAME) 10
#show @Access
#show %eval(@$STAT_NAME)

The trick is ussing #VAR command to change the global variable value.
Last line access to the global variable value: Perhaps there are simpler and better way to do that, but I don't know.

Byesss.
