Reserved Variables
Special variables reserved by Murex
In Murex, there are five different classes of variables:
- Local variables (scope limited to a function et al)
- Module variables (scoped to a module)
- Global variables (available to every function within Murex but not shared with processes outside of the Murex's runtime)
- Environmental variables (available to every function and process -- internal and external to Murex)
- Reserved variables
Reserved variables are data that are available to any code running within Murex and exposed as a variable.
Because reserved variables are dynamic properties of the runtime environment, they can only be queried and not set:
» set SELF="foobar"
Error in `set` (0,1): cannot set a reserved variable: SELF
