Assign Action Properties

The following properties can be provided for the Assign Action in the Properties window, General tab:

  • Name: Any logical name for the Assign action.
  • Assign: This displays a list of all variables, and provides an expression editor to type the expression. Select the variable to be assigned in the Assign drop down and specify the expression in the expression editor to the right of the assigned variable.

The expression can be a simple mathematical expression like (a+b*(c+d)) or as complex as assigning an array {1,2,3} or ({'abc', 'xyz'}, 2) or tableSql({col1,col2}, where col1='John' and col2='D').

Note: If you are assigning a true or false value to a boolean type variable, the value must be written in lower case otherwise the assignment does not work correctly. For example, true. This is treated as constant value assignment.
