Description
Allows creation of variables used in conditional compilation statements.
Syntax
@set @varname = term

The @set statement syntax has these parts:

Part Description
varname Valid JScript variable name. Must be preceded by an "@" character at all times.
term Zero or more unary operators followed by either a constant, conditional compilation variable, or parenthesized expression.
Remarks
Numeric and Boolean variables are supported for conditional compilation. Strings are not. Variables created using @set are generally used in conditional compilation statements, but can be used anywhere in JScript code.

Examples of variable declarations look like this:


@set @myvar1 = 12
@set @myvar2 = (@myvar1 * 20)
@set @myvar3 = @_jscript_version


The following operators are supported in parenthesized expressions: If a variable is used before it has been defined, its value is NaN. NaN can be checked for using the @if statement:

@if (@newVar != @newVar)
 ...


This works because NaN is the only value not equal to itself.
