This part describes all variables available for inclusion in procedure files. A variable is replaced by a parameter value at execution time, thus allowing flexible use of procedure files.
There are 4 types of variables. All variables, except system variables, start with a special character.
| Variable Type | Special Character |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Variable | * |
| Global Variable | + |
| Local Variable | # |
| System Variable |
The values for global, local and system variables are defined using
the SET and
RESET
commands. The values for dynamic variables are determined by the system
settings of the operating system and Entire Connection.
The following examples demonstrate the usage of the local
variables #FILEDRIVE and
#FILEPATH in a procedure file. The following
expression contains a mandatory operand with optional parameters:
{[drive:]\path\...}
| Specification in program: | #FILEDRIVE ':' #FILEPATH |
Value of
#FILEDRIVE:
|
C |
Value of
#FILEPATH:
|
\SAG |
| Result: | C:\SAG |
| Specification in program: | \SAG #FILEPATH |
Value of
#FILEPATH:
|
\PCC |
| Result: | \SAG\PCC |
