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) {

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

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

Thank you!

Thank you!  I got it to work, and tried getting the 'Set' and a 'Get' to work in sequence and then nothing worked!  I'll have to play with it more tomorrow, but thank you for your help.
