Is a variable ( aPointer ) -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
aPointer  Pointer in Pointer to be tested
Function result  Boolean in TRUE = Pointer points to a variable FALSE = Pointer does not point to a variable

The Is a variable command returns True if the pointer you pass in aPointer references a defined variable. It returns False in all other cases (pointer to field or table, Nil pointer, and so on).

When you want to know the name of the variable being pointed to or the field number, you can use the RESOLVE POINTER command.
