Vector Variables 1

What is it your trying to do with the variables.
collect digits for a, and b, and have them enter into variable c?
I dont think you can collect digits, or have a formula fill out the varaible c field, but there may be some other work around depending on what your trying to do.

Interesting Idea. Not sure who you'd use variables to make that happen.
Seems do able out of a vector, but at some point you would need to "route to digits" and you would have had to have put in the FAC for PSA somewhere along the way. You could just tell everyone their password is the FAC + the 4 digit password. For example, mr customer, if you chose 1234 for your password its actually 222 1234 when prompted.
If you figure it out with variables or some combination of variables, be sure to post the results here. I'm always interested in how ppl have used them in programming, expescially outside the box kind of stuff.

You may have already figured this out, but as you know in CM3.0 variables [A-Z] or the digits buffer can be "set"
Careful though,
set A = B ADD C
is not the same as
set A = B CATR C
ADD'ing and conCATenating are different operations.
In your case when you are building a route-to digit you should use the CATL/CATR operators in the "set" command. Then once you've built up your string of digits (store either in a variable or in the digits buffer) then just perform a "route-to" variable or digits.
The disadvantage to the "set" command is that '*' or other special '~' characters canNOT be stored. Typically numerics [0-9] can be stored. There are some conditions where you can store a '#' but this is only as the first character.
By the way, you want to use a "collect" type variable with a local scope for the "set" command.

Can someone copy an example of how they are using this and what for?
There are some examples in the EAS Vectoring Guide. Take a look at the "Variables in Vectors" section.
CM2.x - was the introduction of variables so it's somewhat limited.
CM3.x - has more flexibility because you can assign values to variables and to the digits buffer.
