So, after your mail in private, you actually needs the variable's name 
inside the function.
Then, the easiest way to do what you expect could be to pass only the name:

function  printc(name)
   execstr("c = "+name)
   //Drucken einer komplexen Zahl mit Betrag und Winkel/°
   mprintf([name+': %f /_%7.2f°\n'],abs(c),  180/%pi*atan(imag(c),real(c)))
endfunction

--> myVar = 3 - 2*%i
myVar =
3. - 2.i

--> printc myVar
myVar: 3.605551 /_ -33.69°
