Re: SQR

# is used to store a number variable
$ is used to store a text or date variable

like
let #Number_Variable = 10
let $Text_Variable = 'The Answer'

SQR will convert data type to another, but in answer to second question, use
according to your needs.  Typically use #Numbers for calculations, and $Text
for printing.

Hi folks:

  Questions about SQRs. What is the difference between
# and $. When should each of them be used?
TIA
