# Referencing variables

When in the debugger, the current value of any variable may be examined (and optionally
 changed) using the forms listed.

| */var | Accesses a plain variable and displays its current value. |
| --- | --- |
| */var [position,length] | Accesses a string of length characters starting from character position in the string specified in position. |
| */dim.array.var(row) | Accesses a single-dimensioned array variable. With the subscript designated, only that element displays. |
| */dim.array.var | If a dimensioned array is referenced without a subscript, each element displays. To exit this display without stepping through all of the elements, press BREAK, or enter any non-null value. |
| */dim.array.var(row,col) | Accesses a specific location of a two-dimensional array. See the above form for array references without subscripts. |
| */dyn.array.var | Accesses the specific location of a dynamic array. |
| */* | Displays the current assignment of every variable in the program. |
In general, access types can be combined, as in:

```
*/ var{(row{,col})}{< amc{,vmc{,svm}}>}{[position, length]}
```
In each of the previous cases (except the `*` form), the operator is given the
 opportunity to change the requested value.

 If you press Enter at the `=` prompt, the symbol remains unchanged. Otherwise,
 any value typed is placed into the symbol.
