Using Control File Custom Variables
A list of defined variables is included in the Control File Keywords List. You can, however, use custom variables in control files.
-
To use a custom variable in a control file, simply use the syntax value:
# <custom variable name>
For example: #WORKORDER W0123456
-
On your template, insert a variable for this control file keyword. For example: %WORKORDER%
When this message is sent, the variable %WORKORDER% will be replaced with the value WO123456. See Control File Guidelines for more information about using control files.
