Variables Defined
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Template Language variables are just like variables  in any other
       language; they can have values assigned to them, they can be used
       within expressions and their values can  be used as parameters in
       function or procedure calls.

       Template  Language  variables are  weakly  typed. A  variable can
       store Object definitions  or integer,  string or logical  values.

       When  a variable  stores an  object definition,  only  the Object
       characteristics can  be used in  an expression. Variables  can be
       implicitly  declared in  an  assignment  statement or  explicitly
       declared in  a PRIVATE statement. A PRIVATE  statement limits the
       scope of a  variable to the  current module and any  subsequently
       called modules. All variables are  released after the module that
       declared them is exited.
