Guidelines for Defining Bound Variables

Use the following tips when using bound variables:

• Initialize variables with a Bind Before or Bind After before using them in a Rebind statement.
• Ensure that the pattern passes through the row in which the necessary variables are bound; this may necessitate binding of variables on both sides of an Alternation.
• Initialize variables to a value of the appropriate data type (for example, use a number if the value is intended to be numeric).
