LET /NEW

            [SIC\]LET Variable [=] Expression /NEW Type [Attr]

        Define  the variable and assign it at the same time. Type is the type of
        the variable (INTEGER, REAL, DOUBLE,  LOGICAL,  or  CHARACTER).  INTEGER
        stands  for  SHORT  or LONG integer depending on the current SIC INTEGER
        rule.

        The optional Attr argument is used to specify whether the newly  created
        variable is LOCAL (default) or GLOBAL. See also the SIC\DEFINE command.
