Re: modify some points in a variable

[Steve Hankin <hankin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Daniel,

If, say, your variable is named "v" then

   yes? LET special_v = IF k EQ 5 THEN my_constant ELSE v
 
should do the trick. You might also want to follow that by

   yes? SET VARIABLE/NAME="nnn"/UNITS="uuu" special_v

	Happy Ferreting - steve
