The ISSET() function can be used to check whether a variable exists. ISSET() will return .T. (true) if the variable named <variable name> exists and .F. (false) if it does not exist. Variables can be formally declared (PUBLIC, PRIVATE etc.) or automatically created when they are assigned a value.

if isset(m_var) // m_var exists endif
