Documentation
Definition
Indicator you use:
- For hidden characteristics, to specify that a variable value is used for characteristic assignment in the PI sheet
- For input values, to specify that a variable value is used as the default value for the input value
Use
You can use this type of value assignment to transfer values from preceding process instructions to the current instruction.
Dependencies
A process instruction may only contain input values or message characteristics whose value is assigned using a variable.
For this reason, you can only set the indicator for hidden characteristics if no input values have been defined in the process instruction.
After you have set the indicator, you must enter the variable name.

Definition
Indicator you use to specify that a variable value is to be assigned to the parameter.
Use
Procedure
In dynamic function calls:
Set this indicator to transfer the parameter value of a preceding process instruction.
In input validations:
- Always assign variable X as the value of the value to be checked.
- For all other parameters, the same rules apply as in the function call.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
When you have set the indicator, you must enter the variable name.
The variable must meet the following requirements:
- Its data type must be identical to that of the parameter (for example, floating point number or alphanumeric character).
- It must have been defined in one of the preceding process instructions for the same PI sheet or process order.
Exception:
Variable X always refers to a preceding input value of the same process instruction. It must not be defined in the process instruction.
