dpSet

Function used to set temporary values during the evaluation of activation conditions or rule values anywhere Idoc Script is evaluated.

The values are set into a working area and can be retrieved by the dpGet function call. The key and value that is set does not persist, but is globally available for the profile being evaluated. All key/value pairs can be accessed by the rules of the profile.

Both dpGet and dpSet are used to control the logic of Content Profile rules that are to be displayed. Commonly, a user may create an activation condition that sets a value for a specified key. Even if the condition evaluates to false (that is, the rule fails to fire), the key is set. Another rule can now access the key and retrieve the value when evaluating its activation condition. By using these two functions, a user can create a dependency between rules. For example, a user may want a rule to be evaluated only when a preceding rule is evaluated.

This function takes two parameters:
