   var propVal = "";

   propName = Inputs.GetFirstProperty();

   // stay in loop if the property name is not an empty string
   while (propName != "") {
      propVal = Inputs.GetProperty(propName);

      // if a property with the same name does not exist
      // add the name value pair to the output
      if (!Outputs.PropertyExists(propName)) {
         Outputs.SetProperty(propName, propVal);
      }

      propName = Inputs.GetNextProperty();

   }
