l Click Rename
l Type in the new name of the variable, then press Enter on your keyboard.
While renaming a variable will correctly rename all references to it in task properties or wherever else it is
used in a task, it will not change the references in any script within a Run Script task. Deleting a variable,
on the other hand, does not delete any reference to it. In both the case where a script refers to a variable and
it is renamed, or in the case of deleting a variable, any task or script that refers to it will cease to function and
will generate an error.
You can set the value of a variable within your process in two ways:
l
Use the Set Job Info and Variable action task. See "Set Job Infos and Variables" on page310.
l
You can use Scripts. See the chapter "Using Scripts" on page79.
Variables may be used as variable properties in variable property boxes (see Variable Properties).
