Parameters

This field is used for Set Values action type.

Use this field to specify parameter specifications as name-value pairs. For multiple parameters, include them as a comma-separated list.

To construct the name-value pairs using the Event Action Set Name/Value Pairs form, click the button to the left of this field.

The contents of this field must use this syntax for each parameter:

paramName = scalarExpr[, ...]

where:

  • paramName is the name of the parameter. If the parameter does not exist when the event is executed, the system creates the parameter when needed and marks it for output.
  • scalarExpr is the value to be assigned to that parameter when the event action executes.

When you click OK to return to the Event Actions form, the system "wraps" this content within a SETPARMVALUES( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

SETPARMVALUES( paramName = scalarExpr[, ...] )

Note: 
  • If scalarExpr is a literal value, the system automatically encloses it in double quotation marks when returning it to the Event Actions form. If scalarExpr is an expression, the system does not enclose it in quotation marks.
  • The system does not prevent you from including a null value for a parameter (such as myParam = ) on this form, but doing so generates a syntax error. To designate a null value for the value of a parameter, use a double set of quotation marks (myParam = "").
