Variable attributes and undef vars [message #90235]

From the IDL docs: "All IDL variables have special attributes that return information about the variable. These attributes are equivalent to calling the N_ELEMENTS, SIZE, or TYPENAME functions."

This does not work for undefined variables:

IDL> help, n_elements(a)
<Expression> LONG = 0
IDL> help, a.length
% Expression must be a structure in this context: A.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL>

Bug or feature? :-)

regards,
Lajos
