Field variables

You can define a field variable, and later on refer to the variable instead of a static value. The use of variables does affect performance, so only use variables when necessary.

To define a variable

1	Select the field you want to configure. The field properties are displayed in the Properties view.

2	Enter the name of the Variable and press Enter.

Before Message script

You can also define variables in a Before Message script using the following syntax:

$<variable> = <column> <row> <length>;

For example:

$text = 8 14 9;

where $text is assigned the string on row 14 between column 8 and 17.
