Documentation

Definition

There are three methods for changing (substituting) the value in a table field if the Boolean condition has been fulfilled (or is empty). The selected method is displayed next to this field.

The substitution methods and the necessary entries in each case are:

• Substitution with a constant value.
  You enter the value that is to be transferred to the assigned recipient field. This value is also allowed to be blank.
  
• Substitution with the value from a different table field.
  You enter the name of the other field in the following form:
  Table name-field name
  This field has to be transferred to the substitution, that is it must be a field that is allowed to be used in the prerequisite for substitution.
  You can also leave the input field blank. In this case the recipient field is initialized.
  
• Substitution within a user exit.
  You enter the name of the exit.
