Read Bob's reply. EL *already* does what you want. The variable is
initialized to the value in the "Vars:" statement at the START of the
chart. Unless you explicitly change the variable with an assignment
like var1=var1+1, it WILL NOT CHANGE throughout the rest of the chart.
Why do you think it does? Are you seeing some unexpected behavior?
