Access path
- Customizer Master Data Variables Dynamic Variables
Information
- In this module, dynamic variables can be created and edited.
Dynamic variables store values which are dependent on user operations and are updated in the data item.
Create a dynamic variable
From DB 39.5.10
- Right-click to insert an empty record via Insert Dynamic variable.
- Enter the variable number in the Dynamic variable data field.
- NEW The number must be in the individual number range and composed as follows: three digit customer license + a three digit number from 000 to 999.
- Enter the data item which is to receive the dynamic value in the DI data field.
- Set code and search behavior if necessary.
- Save.
Up to DB 39.5.10
Right-click to insert an empty record via Insert Dynamic variable.
Enter the variable number in the Dynamic variable data field.
- The number must be in the individual number range 1000 – 79999.
Enter the data item which is to receive the dynamic value in the DI data field.
Set code and search behavior if necessary.
Save.
Notes
- It is possible to define several dynamic variables with different flags or search behavior for a data item.
- The content of dynamic variables can be edited using macro commands.
- In opposite to other variable types, @D-variables cannot be reset, since the value is dynamic anyway.
Technical details
- Upon the following actions, those variables the data items of which exist in the active or a parent record are refreshed. If the active record is a button area, its parent area will be searched. Only applies if the code of the corresponding variable is 1 or 5.
- Opening a listbox
- Clicking on a button
- Clicking on a link
- Activating a function via the right mouse button
- First, the system searches a suitable DI in the active record. If none is found, it is searched for in the parent records.
- If the record which was activated is empty, only the dynamic variables on its key fields are updated (usually deleted). This should prevent, in particular, the deletion of, e.g., @D7 (DI001052 Main project).
- Dynamic variables for data items the data field of which displays summarized values (summarization type not 0) are not updated.
- If a change is made to an @D variable, this change does not affect the value of the associated data item.
- Dynamic variables that are located on a data item with an automatic number are filled with this value when an automatic number is generated.
