3. 30.=* transforms binned set variables and assign them to set variables
setvar .=* binnedvar1 [binnedvar2 .. binnedvarN] where setvar is set variable and binnedvar1 [binnedvar2 .. binnedvarN] are binned set variables

Use the .=* operator to assign a binned variable to a set variable. The operator will transform the binned variable into a set variable. Since binned variables can contain datasets with more information, the transform operator may create one or many set variables when mapping a binned dataset. If the transformation results in multiple set variables, then ASPL will create them by appending them with a dot followed by an incremental number.
.=* EXAMPLEThe following example shows the use of .=* operator.
.=* OPERATION# aspl WS1
(start ASPL loading the sample workspace WS1)
① aspl>
tattler 1
(turn on tattler so you can see the symbol tables being affected)
② aspl>
av
(show the binned or augmented symbol table)
③ aspl>
t .=* aa1 aa2 aa3
(do a transform assigning the binned variables aa1 aa2 aa3 to t's)
④ aspl>
v
(show the regular symbol table)
⑤ aspl>
au123 = gU a1 a2 a3
(get the group union of a1 a2 and a3 in au123)
⑥ aspl>
equal au123 t
(check equality)
⑦ aspl>
x .=* aa1 aa1 aa1
(do a transform assigning the binned variables aa1 aa1 aa1 to x's)
⑧ aspl>
v
⑨ aspl>
equal a1 aa1
⑩ aspl>
ccu123 = cU a1 a2 a3
(get the checksum union of a1 a2 a3 and assign it to ccu123)
⑪ aspl>
av
(show the augmented (binned) symbol table)
⑫ aspl>
r .=* ccu123
(do a transform assigning the binned variable ccu123 to r's)
⑬ aspl>
v
(show the regular symbol table that will show r r.1 r.2 ..)
