FR L - Read (sets) a local string (symbolic) variable

PURPOSE

Associates a file name template or any other string with a string (symbolic) variable. Reads input from current procedure or terminal. 'FR L' differs from 'FR' which receives input from the calling procedure or input stream. The string variable is available only inside the current SPIDER procedure.

USAGE

.OPERATION: FR L

.VARIABLE NAME & ASSOCIATED VALUE: [label]value
[Enter string variable name (surrounded by []'s) and the associated alphanumeric string.]

NOTES

1. This operation is useful when writing long procedures as a string variable can be initialized to contain a certain value at the top of the procedure then the variable e.g. [raw_file] can be used throughout the procedure. If the string's value later changes then it only has to be altered at one location in the procedure.

2. Example.

   FR L

   [raw_file]nerve{***[iter]}

   DO [iter]=4,6

   FS

   [raw_file]

   ENDDO

   [iter]=16

   CP

   [raw_file]

   [raw_file]_jnk
