What I want to do is to store a variable VAR only if it is not yet filled with a value (Background: its a reused test case where I want to store a value of the first usage in my test suite). For that I tried to use a 'up_app_checkStringValues' which checks:

$VAR not equals ''

I added an 'Check Failed' event to set the VAR to the given VALUE if the check fails (-> if VAR is empty).
But on execution of the test I get a

"7009: Test Execution Error.  Variable with name $VAR is not resolvable."

No problem, I thought, also add a 'Configuration Error' event and everything is fine.
Unfortunately the error still appears, so here it comes to my question:

How would I check if a variable is already set?

Never mind, I now use a test case to 'declare' each VAR where I need this functionality, using a data set to initialize these VARs with '' as first step in the test suites.
