__TOC__
You may set or update the value of certain types of variables with the Janus and TN3270 Debuggers. The following types of variable values may be modified:

* String %variables
* Unicode %variables
* Float %variables 
* Fixed %variables 
* Longstrings (255 character limit)
* Global variables 
* Screen and Image items 
* Boolean enumeration variables (only True and False [case not important] are valid values) 

Currently, only scalar variables may be set; array elements may not be set. In addition, most object variables may not be set. 

To set the value of a variable with the Debugger:

# [[Add item to watch window|Add]] the variable to the <var>Watch Window</var>.
# In the <var>Watch Window</var>, right click the variable. 
:: If this type of variable can be set, and it is settable at this point in the execution of the program, the <var>Change Value</var> context menu option is enabled.
: 3. Select Change Value.
:: A Set %var dialog box like the following displays, where %var is replaced by the variable you are modifying, and the variable's current value is displayed:
[[File:setvarwin3_zoom60.gif|371x95px|setvarWin3]]
: 4. Specify the new variable value, and click <var>Set</var> or press the Enter key. 
:: The <var>Watch Window</var> is refreshed with the new value, Variable Set displays in the [[Status bar|Status bar]], and the new value becomes the current value of the variable in the program at the current point of program execution.

The [[setM204Data command|setM204Data]] command is equivalent to right clicking a <var>Watch Window</var> item and selecting Change Value.

'''Note:''' Setting a new value in the Debugger follows the rules of User Language assignment. For example, specifying a text value for a float variable results in setting the variable to zero.
