Purpose

---

  Sets IDL variable in a different IDL call level

Calling Sequence

---

  DXSET, 'NAME', VALUE ; quoted variable name (OR)
  DXSET, NAME, VALUE ; unquoted variable name

Description

---

  DXSET sets a variable value at any point in the IDL call stack.
  The DXGET and DXSET routines allow any variable at any level to be
  examined and changed.
  The call level to be examined is determined by the current
  debugging "focus." By default this is the deepest level in the
  call stack -- where the breakpoint occurred. However, this level
  can be changed by using the DXUP and DXDOWN procedures.
  If the variable doesn't exist, then an error message is reported,
  and the variable is not set.

Inputs

---

  NAME - the name of the variable, either quoted or unquoted.
  VALUE - the new value of the variable.

Keywords

---

  LEVEL - the call level to be examined, if not the current
          debugging focus.

Example

---

  dxset, 'a', 5
  Set the value of the variable A to 5 in the currently debugged
  call level.
