Alias for A_DBR variables

In the part program I'd like to use aliases instead of the "$A_DBR"s. Is it possible to define such alias for $A_DBR, and if yes then where I should look for it? Thank you for any help.

DEFINE...AS DEFINE LINE AS G1 G94 F300 They can also be used to alias an operation, e.g. DEFINE DrillOn AS booleanDrillOn = true
