System Variable question

by ikevi10@[EMAIL PROTECTED] May 5, 2008 at 11:08 AM

One more quick question.  I have my .pro setup to use a system
variable.  I am using the following call: keyword_set(!DATA_TYPE)

Where of course !DATA_TYPE is defined in my idl start file.

It works great, but I would like a way to be able to check that !
DATA_TYPE is created (and if it isn't I can define it with DEFSYSV and
set it to the default 0)

I tried just using keyword_set and that doesn't work correctly.  (IE
if I remove the definition of !DATA_TYPE in my startup, when calling
keyword_set instead of returning 0 it gives me:  Not a legal system
variable: !DATA_TYPE.)

Thanks for any help
