Attribute

Name of the attribute whose value should be read.
Format: AE name, script literal or script variable

Value of the specified attribute.

Comments 

This script function can be used to read an object's attributes during the generation process. Its behavior is similar to the behavior of the script element GET_ATT with the difference being that script, object and predefined variables are not replaced by values in the attribute. Therefore, the variable name is retrieved instead of its value. GET_ATT always resolves these variables.

Placeholders for VariableSpeichert oder ermittelt Werte dynamisch zur Laufzeit. Auch ein eigener Objekttyp in der Automation Engine. objects that are enclosed in curly brackets {} are supplied with values neither in GET_ATT nor in GET_ATT_PLAIN.

As of version 9.00A, the attribute dialog reads the attributes using the script function GET_ATT_PLAIN. The dialog now always displays the attributes' actual content instead of the replaced variable value.

For more detailed information, see GET_ATT.

Example

The following example writes a script variable's name to an attribute and assigns a value to it. The attribute's content is then retrieved with and without the replaced variable value. The corresponding information is written to the activation protocol.

:PUT_ATT INT_ACCOUNT = "&&test#"
:SET &test# = "test"
:SET &att# = GET_ATT(INT_ACCOUNT)
:SET &attplain# = GET_ATT_PLAIN(INT_ACCOUNT)
:PRINT "Variable name = &attplain#"
:PRINT "Variable value = &att#"
