List of System Properties

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

Notes:

The Variable name is the technical name of the predefined variable. It will be replaced by the corresponding value at runtime.
The Security level is defined by using the setting VAR_SECURITY_LEVEL in the UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS variable. This setting determines whether the variables of SQL statements are replaced by dynamic Variable objects and, if so, which ones. For more information, see VAR_SECURITY_LEVEL.

The security level is always 1 if the value of the predefined variable 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.

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.

Example

Attribute: HOST, variable &$AGENT#

Important!
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.

The user who is currently logged on is used for the preview if this variable is used in the SQL statements of a Variable object. This behavior also applies to the variables &$DEPARTMENT# and &USER_FL#. Whether the predefined variables are triggered will depend, however, on the security settings.
