Creating an ER Variable

To create an ER variable:

    The Variables form displays different scope options, depending on whether you are working with an interactive application, batch application, or NER.

  2. Complete the variable naming field located under the Add button.

  3. Click one of the Scope options (Form or Event) depending on the purpose for which you created the variable.

  4. If you selected Form Scope and you want to use a grid variable, click the Grid option.

  5. Click the DD visual assist to browse for DD items.

  6. Select the DD item to which the variable is associated and click the Add button.

    The system automatically assigns a prefix to the variable, based on the type of scope that you choose.
