PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE ASSIGNMENT COMMANDS

* ?                             Main PL Help
* VARNAME = [new value]         Set variable value.
                                Leading space is trimmed from new value.
* - VARNAME                     Unset variable
* VARNAME ~                     Set variable value to the value of the very
                                next SQL value or count fetched (see details
                                at the bottom of this listing).
* VARNAME _                     Same as * VARNAME ~, except the query is
                                done silently (i.e, no rows to screen).
* VARNAME :[appendage]          Set variable value to the previous edit
                                buffer contents.
* load VARNAME path.txt         Load variable value from text file
* ((VARNAME OP math expr))      Perform integer math and assign to the var.
                                Internal ops: variables, +, -, *, /, %, ^, ()
                                Assignment OPs:  =, ++, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=
                                No string values, system properties, or
                                SqlTool system variables allowed.
                                PL user variables written as bare names.
* for, * foreach, * forrows     These branching commands assign values.
                                Run '* ? control" for more details about these.

SqlTool reserves variables with names beginning with * for special purposes.
 These are called SqlTool system variables.  Variables beginning with a
 letter and followed by zero or more letters, digits, or _, are 'user' vars.
System Property values may not be set.

Auto. variable ? is set to the very latest SQL datum fetched (or update count).
    Query:  The value of the last field of the last row returned.
            (Except will be set to the *NULL_REP_TOKEN value instead of to
            real null if the value retrieved is a SQL null).
    other:  Return status of the command
            (for updates this will be the number of rows updated).
    null/unset:  If the last SQL command failed, ? will be unset (aka null).
Auto. variable # is set to rowcount of the last completed query.
Inside of * forrows blocks only, *ROW will be set just like ? except if
 multiple columns, they will all be concatenated into *ROW.

'* VARNAME ~' or '* VARNAME _' sets the specified variable's value just like ?,
but to the very next returned value; and VARNAME will be assigned null if
the fetched value is SQL null.
~  and _ assignments are equivalent except that _ suppresses display output.
