Variables can be created and used in scripts and calculations. Variables are useful in simplifying complex calculations, passing information from one process to another and opening doors to innovation within FileMaker design.
I have seen mixed interpretations of declaring variables. I had it in mind that declaring a variable was the process of creating it. However, most resources I researched leaned more towards the use of a created variable and most of that was from a troubleshooting perspective.
So for the sake of conforming to a majority standard, I’m going to say that the term of a declared variable pertains to the use of an existing variable within a calculation or script.
