Image:Iv_300.gif Set Global Variable Step
Creates and/or sets a global variable. A global variable in TeleFlow is available throughout the application flow from the point at which it is created. The format definition of the variable will determine what type of information the variable represents. For example, '2001/01/22' will represent a date, whereas 'NORTH AMERICA' represents a character value. See the Variable Usage section for more information on variables, variable scope, and variable data types..

Properties

Variable to define: The name of the variable to define e.g.: @VarName. Variables must be named according to the following conventions:
1. All TeleFlow variables start with the @ symbol.
2. Only letters (a...z, A...Z), numbers (0...9) and underscores ( _ ) can be used in variable names.
3. While not required, the TeleFlow standard when typing in variables is that they are all named in ALL CAPS, for purposes of readability.
4. For variable names, TeleFlow is not case sensitive. It treats all variables as being in UPPER CASE, regardless of how they are referred to in the application.

Assigned value: The value to assign to the variable defined.

Action Steps
