instance variable
A variable that other instances of a class do not share. The run-time system creates a new copy of an instance variable each time the system instantiates the class. An instance variable can contain a different value in each instance of a class, for example, the customerID variable in a Customer class. In Actuate Basic, all instance variables defined for a class are publicly visible. Private instance variables are not visible in subclasses.
