Automation data values
Data values and variables
Variables are data values that you can use and manipulate in the automation process. Viewing these values during debugging help developers see how the automation manipulates the data. During the debugging process, you can view the updates by placing breakpoints before a design block that contains the value and using the step over function to observe the change.
For example, in the following image, an automation contains a customer account number field receiving a value from the entry point design block. The entry point passes the custacctNum data value to the txtCustNum design block. At the beginning of the debugging process, the value in the txtUserName control is empty, waiting for the string value.
In the next image, you can see once the debugger has stepped over or progressed one step in the process, the value is then set in the design block and is visible in the application form.
Note: Parameters, variables, or controls that are marked as sensitive will not appear to the developer during debugging.
