Variable (TIBCO Streaming Product Javadoc 10.6.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.streambase.liveview.client.dynamictables.Variable

```
public class Variable
extends Object
```
Variables can be used in both test and assignment expressions in the FieldRules. If there is a non-trivial expression that will be used more than once in the evaluation of FieldRules, then use a Variable to save the value of that expression. Note that all Variables will be evaluated for every insert and update of every value. Variables can also be the target of assignments in RuleCases, if there are expressions that only need to be evaluated for certain cases.
