Reserved Words

Similar to variables, you use reserved words to supply information that is not known until a test executes.

Prefix reserved words with a pound sign (#) and use them in the Value field of a test to verify a condition, change the value in an application field, or both. In this example, the #TODAY reserved word sets the EFFDT_FROM field to the current date.

This example illustrates how the reserved word #TODAY can be used in a test step.
