func cisetvar 

Sets a new value for the specified CI (MPE XL Command Interpreter)
variable.

Syntax 

      cisetvar (civarname newvalue)

This function is implemented by calling the HPCIPUTVAR intrinsic.  String
variables are stored as strings.  They are not interpreted numerically.

Formal Declaration 

      cisetvar:bool (civarname:str newvalue:any)

Parameters 

 civarname       The name of the CI variable to be assigned a new value.

 newvalue        The new value to be assigned to the specified CI
                 variable.

Examples 

     $nmdebug > wl cisetvar ("testvar", #123); 
     TRUE

Assign the value decimal 123 to the CI variable named testvar.  The
result, TRUE, implies that the assignment was successful.

     $nmdebug > wl civar ("testvar"):"d" 
     123
     $nmdebug > :showvar testvar 
     TESTVAR = 123

Confirm that the value was set by retrieving the value using the CIVAR
function and by executing a CI command to display the variable's value.

Limitations, Restrictions
