This Item ($)
The dollar sign ($) is a short way of referring to a data item if used within that data item's procedure.
Pressing
Ctrl + 4
(4 is where the dollar sign is on many keyboards) will insert the name into the logic buffer.
Example
PROC
AGE
if
MARITAL_STATUS >
1
then
// ever married
if
$ <
12
then
// the same as AGE < 12
errmsg
(
"Person too young (%d) to be married"
,$);
endif
