Standard variables in beas script always defined with setvar

And this is always type string in window regional setting format

 

Many functions available to work with this type of variables

Example: Add 2 numeric

 

setvar=a=5
setvar=b=6
setvar=result=%numadd(a,b)
// return 11

 

Note: if you must work with Date or numberic values, it's better to work with decimal and date variables, otherwise you've always trouble with regional format settings.
