Parameter variables
The parameter variables are used in commands to represent the specific context or
elements that are replaced at run-time by a value specific to the current context and
settings. The parameter variables are validated at run-time. Therefore, all variables are
allowed when creating macros, interface services, calculation rules, worksheet parameters, or
plansheet parameters. Variables are substituted in Infor BI OLAP before creating the
calculation rules (for the cycle period) or when resuming a rule using the Refresh
option.
Note:
- Variables are not case-sensitive.
- If the variables are used for macro functionality, only one variable per parameter is allowed.
- The format used for application variables is app_var_VarName.
- Application variables are declared at a system level and can be overridden a cycle or Planning Engine level.
- Application variables are run-time variables and can be replaced by the current cycle version or Planning Engine.
