Assigns an expression or value to a variable.
varname := value
varname = value
Assignment operator := is often used with assignment of arguments of OLE object properties, this is called passing named arguments. Using named arguments are provided as a shortcut for typing argument values. With named arguments, you can provide any or all of the arguments, in any order, by assigning a value to the named argument. You do this by typing the argument name plus a colon followed by an equal sign and the value ( Argument := Value) and placing that assignment in any sequence delimited by commas.
Local a$
a$ := "Hello"
a$ = "Hello"
Named arguments with objects. Notice that the arguments in the following example are in the reverse order of the expected arguments:
// Raises the error: "Put #/Get # without field and without variable"
Err.Raise Description := "", Number := 71
