List of Predefined Variables for System and Object Values

This document includes the names and descriptions of all predefined variables that can be used in the attributes or scripts of executable objects.

You can insert the variables either manually or by using the Variable picker dialog. The predefined variables represent values that can also be retrieved by using a script. The substitution takes place at the object's runtime.

Description of the table columns that list the variables:

The security level is always "1" if the predefined variable's value refers to a script function. Security level "1" should also be assigned if the value is derived from an attribute that the user cannot directly influence using the script element :PUT_ATT.
For example: Attribute: ACCOUNT, Variable: &$ACCOUNT#
Variables for attributes that can be modified at runtime (and therefore pose a security risk) correspond to security level "2".
For example: Attribute: HOST, variable &$AGENT#

Note that the behavior of the variable &$PHYS_TIME_format# differs from the script function SYS_TIME_PHYSICAL. Calling this script function several times can result in different time values (depending on the time of the call). The value of the predefined variable is set during its generation and remains constant for the complete execution.

Below you will find a description of the supported time and date value formats. When handling formats, make sure you observe the note that is included in the description of the Variable picker dialog.

AE System

[ System ] [ Object - Script Values ] [ Object - Attributes ] [ Date and Time Formats ]

The following variables represent values that are consistent throughout the system. They can be used in any executable object.

Name Variable Name: Description Script Element Security level
