[LET] variable=expression

variable	Any variable. Variable names can consist of up to 40 characters and must begin with a letter. Valid characters are A-Z, 0-9, and period (.).
expression	Any expression that provides a value to assign.
Use of the optional LET keyword is not recommended. The variable=expression assignment statement performs the same action with or without LET.
