Variable Name from Variable Value
 
I am having trouble defining a variable name called from another variable value.

Per the help documentation, I should be able to do
Code:
#VA simple abc
#VA @simple def


To make a variable named "abc" with a value of "def".

However, when I do this in CMUD, the second line of code merely changes the "simple" variable's value to "def".


Is there some setting I have messed up, or is the documentation inaccurate on this issue?

I believe the documentation is inaccurate as I am getting the same results

Any other way to name a variable using the value of another variable?

Run your variable call through an #EXEC, that will force the first variable to evaluate before it it is interpreted.
