Dan - I have succeeded with 'GetDBVar', but my limited knowledge is preventing me from translating that to 'SetDBVar'.  Here's what I've got.  Where am I going wrong?

function setDBVar(dbid, varDaName, 12) {
return Promise.resolve(
$.set(dbid, {

varname: varDaName
})
).then(function(xml) {
return $("value", xml).text();
});
}

getDBVar(dbid, varDaName)
.then(function(varValue) {
console.log('${varDaName} = ${varValue}');
});

Thank you!

} 
var dbid = "";
var dbvName = "";
var dbvValue = ""; 
setDBVar(dbid, dbvName, dbvValue)
