an output file name: %O_@(1,1,1,30, KeepCase,Trim)_%y-%m-%d.txt. This would translate in
the original file name, followed by part of the first line of a text data file, then the current date.
Inserting variables in task properties
In any variable properties box, you may use the contextual (right-click) menu to add variables
and control characters, as well as to get data and make data selections. The lower part of the
contextual menu is divided into 4 items that provide variable properties:
l
Variables
l
System: Contains standard system variables, see "System variables" on page729.
l
Job Info: Contains Job Info variables from %1 to %9
l
Local Variables: Contains a list of local variables in this process. If no local
variables exist, this item is disabled.
l
Global Variables: Contains a list of global variables in this configuration. If no
global variables exist, this item is disabled.
l
Control Characters: Contains a list of control characters that can be used in printers.
l
Get Data Value: Brings up the Data Selector, retrieves the value you select and places it
in the variable properties box. This information becomes static and does not change
between each datapage and job file.
l
Get Data Location: Brings up the Data Selector and records your selection. The data
selection is dynamic, meaning it will get the data located in the area you choose, every
time a new data file passes through it. This is indicated by a data selection (see "Data
selections" on page54).
l
Get Metadata Value: Brings up the Data Selector with only the Metadata tab visible and
lets you select the value (contents) of a Metadata attribute or field. The result is static and
does not change between jobs.
l
Get Metadata Location: Brings up the Data Selector with only the Metadata tab visible
and lets you select the location of the data. The result is variable and changes between
jobs.
l
Get Repository Value: Brings up the "Data Repository Manager" on page875 dialog to
select the value (contents) of a specific key. The result of the lookup is static.
l
Get Repository Location: Brings up the Data Repository Manager dialog to select the
location of the key to lookup every time this task is executed.
