Steps are located in the <STEPS/> sub-root each with a <STEP> entry. Each step has following XML attributes:
|
NUMBER |
specifies the step number (integer) |
|
NAME |
specifies the step name (string) |
|
STEPCONDITION |
specifies the step condition (string) - see below for details |
|
JUMPCONDITION |
specifies the jump condition (string) - see below for details |
|
JUMPTOSTEPNAME |
specifies the step to jump to (string) |
Each step has two sub-sections <ONENTRY> and <ONEXIT> containing <OUT> keys to define output value assignments.
Important: If you are passing literal string (or date, time or elapsed time) values as outputs you need to enclose these with the ampersand notation of double-quotes, which is: "
Examples:
-
<OUT name="MachineInstruction" value=""Start""></OUT>
which passes the literal value Start to the Alias MachineInstruction for a given step. -
<OUT name="MachineInstruction" value="Start"></OUT>
which passes the value of the Alias named Start to the Alias MachineInstruction for a given step. -
<OUT name="MachineInstruction" value=""Joe says "Start"""></OUT>
which passes the literal value Joe says "Start" to the Alias MachineInstruction for a given step.
