Combining Values in an Object

Certain objects accept multiple values as their content. Such content can be a combination of fixed values, variables and special characters (control codes). The objects that accept combined values are identified by a small right arrow button on the right side of the object. Click the arrow button to enter either a variable or a special character.

  • Using fixed values. Enter a fixed value for the variable.

  • Using fixed values and data from variables. Combined values may contain variables and fixed values. The variable names must be enclosed in square brackets []. Enter the variables manually or insert them by clicking the arrow button to the right. During the processing time, the values of variables are merged together with fixed data and used as the object content.

    In the example below, the content is merged from three variables and fixed data items.

    Example:

    [variable1] // This is fixed value [variable2][variable3]

  • Using special characters. Special characters are supported with combined values. You can enter the special characters manually, or insert them using a dropdown list. In this case, the value of variable1 is merged with fixed data and form-feed binary character. The list of available special characters is available here.

    Example:

    [variable1] Form feed will follow this fixed text <FF>
