Pre-Defined Variables

The Pre-Defined variables are listed in the tables below. The first table lists the variables in the order of increasing integer used for access to the variable via the

'pd_sym(i,j)'

function. The first column of each table lists the value passed in i to access the variable. The second column lists the string value returned as the value of j. The second table lists the variables in alphabetical order.
