Just set a value on any variable. It will retain that value until
you change it to something else.

I believe you're confused about how variables work. MyNum will be 0
until you set it to Close on the 10th bar, because the "Vars"
statement initialized it to 0 **before the first bar**. It *DOES
NOT* keep setting it to that value on every bar.
After bar 10, MyNum contains the value of Close from the 10th bar.
If you don't change it to another value, it will retain the value of
the 10th bar close on the 100th, 1000th, or Nth bar.
