NIPO ODIN Version 5.17
*SAVE (question option)
Purpose
Saves the answer of a question in a variable.
Syntax
*SAVE <var>
Description
This command is always used in combination with *QUESTION and must be specified after this command on the same line. The answer on a question is saved in a variable. If it is a numeric variable the code value or the number is saved. If it is a text variable with a closed question with precoded answers the label of the code is saved. Saving an answer text is particularly of use if you want to insert this text in a subsequent question (dynamic text modification).
May not be used in a single question in combination with *SAVE as a code option. If used on a *MULTI question, it saves the highest selected code (text) only.
Arguments
var
Any (alpha)-numerical variable or anyof the ten system variables. If the argument is omitted system variable 0 is used by default.
