Explanation

The assignment statement assigns values to declared variables.

For more information about the file assignment statement, refer to Using File Attributes. For more information about the task assignment statement, refer to Using Task Variables.

Example

The first section of the following example declares variables of type Boolean, integer, real, string, file, and task. The statements in the next section of the example assign values to the declared variables.

BOOLEAN B;
INTEGER I;
REAL R;
STRING S;
FILE F;
TASK T;
.
.
.
B:=FILE A/B ON PACK IS RESIDENT;
I:=INTEGER(R);
R:=17.5; 
S:="ABC"; 
F(AREASIZE=1008,FLEXIBLE); % File Attribute Assignment
T(PRIORITY=70); % Task Attribute Assignment
