AW: [fpc-pascal]how to assign a value to an untyped variable

[ZINTEL Gerhard]

Thank you both for your fast help. And of course I meant "value := r;"

I have found a third solution in the mean time (one should not give up to
early:)
Do you know if that is in a machine independent way?

procedure test(var value);
var r : real absolute value;
begin
  r := 1.0;	// seems to work
end;
