PICScript uses aliases to represent surfaces and seismic attributes in your scripts. This makes it possible reuse the scripts by simply reassigning the aliases at run time. See Update Alias
Select an alias that describes the use of an input in the function. Names such as shallow, deep, original_time, MyHorizon and porosity are preferable to names like Greenhorn, Devonian, or X.
Aliases should contain only alphabetic characters, numbers, underscores and dashes. Do not use a number as the first character of an alias. Also, do not use words that are reserved by PICScript its own use. These would include function names, variable names, and output attributes. Examples: smooth, dip, abs, surfacein, global, amp, time, depth.
