HELP SYSDECLARE Revised by Fran Evelyn, July 85 sysdeclare(<word>) SYSDECLARE takes a word as argument and declares the word as an ordinary variable. If the variable has not already been declared, the value of * PRWARNING is applied to the word. The result of this is that a message is printed on the screen, warning the user that the word is being declared as a variable. The value of PRWARNING can be changed by the user to alter the form of warning messages. The default value of PRWARNING is the procedure * SYSPRWARNING, which prints a message in the following format: ;;; DECLARING VARIABLE foo See REF *VMCODE for full details of POPLOG Virtual Machine procedures.
