EQUATE Statement (DataBasic MultiValue Compatibility) (m6187ai+equate.htm)
You can use the EQUATE statement to assign an identifier to represent the result of calling the @ function. For example:
EQUATE CLEARSCREEN TO @(-1)
Note, however, that the values of the identifiers will remain unchanged if the terminal type is changed, and that, under these circumstances, unexpected effects might result.
You can also assign identifiers to represent predefined symbols. For example:
EQUATE WHO TO @WHO
