isdefined()

Usage:

isdefined(arg1 [, arg2, ...])

Keywords: macros, general, variables

isdefined(arg) returns True if arg exists in the MacAnova workspace and
False otherwise.  If arg is a built-in function, isdefined() returns
True.

isdefined(arg1, arg2, ..., argk) returns a LOGICAL vector, each element
of which is True or False depending on whether or not the corresponding
argument actually exists.

In a macro, isdefined() is useful for checking errors in a macro.  For
instance, a macro to compute mean square errors might have the line
 if(!isdefined(SS) || !isdefined(DF)){
    error("SS or DF not defined")}
before attempting to use SS or DF.
