Note that the Set Variable action in the scenario editor is a variant of the Modify action. You can use the Set Variable action to define a value that you can use, for example, to trigger an action later in the same scenario segment (scenario variables apply only to the segment in which you set them).
Example:
Set variable LateNightShopper to Yes
The following example from an SDL file shows a Set Variable action that creates a variable called LateNightShopper and sets it to the value VeryLate.
<action-name construct="variable-declaration-action">modify</action-name> <action-param name="modified"> <variable type="java.lang.String">LateNightShopper</variable> </action-param> <action-param name="operator"> <constant>assign</constant> </action-param> <action-param name="modifier"> <constant>Yes</constant> </action-param>
Scenario variables can be any of the following types:
String
Long
Double
Flag
Date
