String Variables

The values contained in String variables can exist either in the database or as a local, temporary variable. String variables can be inserted into a command list using preprocessor directives or set or used for comparisons in resource statements. Numeric string variables a evaluated as strings and not as numbers. Temporary variables are used only for comparisons in resource lists or end action statements.
