Dynamic memory variables (PUBLIC, PRIVATE, PARAMETERS) are supported in the X# language and runtime for compatibility only.
In most cases the type can and should be replaced with lexically scoped variables, such as LOCALs and GLOBALs.
Examples
This example uses MemVarGet() to retrieve the contents of a memory variable:
X#
1cPrivate := "hi"
2cHasName := "cPrivate"
3// Instead of ? &cHasName, use this:
4? MemVarGet(cHasName)            // hi
