Description

Tests if a variable has been assigned. Returns the opposite values from unassigned().

Syntax

truefalse = Assigned(variable)

Parameters

The Assigned function is used to determine whether a value has been assigned to a variable. You can avoid "variable not assigned a value" (VNAV) errors, by making sure that any variable you reference in your code has, at minimum, a null value.

Note: A null value is different from an unassigned value. A null value is a known, assigned value of . If a variable is unassigned it has an unknown value.

Note: The unassigned() function requires a function declaration. The assigned() function does not require a function declaration.

Returns

True (1) if variable is assigned; false (0) if variable is unassigned.
