I have 70 variables, named var1, var2, . . . var70

Each has a corresponding numerical variable, which is calculated from the value of var, during data entry, via an IF THEN ELSE statement in the check file:

var1num, var2num, . . . var70num

I would like each varXnum to be zero by default, when a new record is opened. I found the BEFORE RECORD command, which it seems would do the job. But I want to save on typing, so is there a wildcard character, such as * , so I can type just one command in a BEFORE RECORD block, like this:

BEFORE RECORD var*num = 0 END

Thanks.
