Obsolete System Variables

The following IDL system variables became obsolete in the change from VAX IDL (IDL version 1) to IDL version 2. While it is highly unlikely that you will find references to these system variables in existing code, we include them here because they are flagged when the OBS_SYSVARS field of the !WARN structure is set equal to one. See System Variables for information on IDL system variables.
