Ruleset parameters can be set as different directions using the direction
property. The direction of a ruleset parameter can be specified in the Property Sheet when the parameter is selected in one of the Explorers.
-
The
direction
property can have one of the following values:
-
in_dir
: The parameter value is provided as input to the ruleset on execution. It is not possible to assign an initial value to the parameter using the initialValue
property.
-
out_dir
: The parameter value is set by the execution of the ruleset and provided as output from the ruleset at execution completion. You can assign an initial value to the parameter using the initialValue
property.
-
inout_dir
: The parameter value is provided as input to the ruleset on execution, and its value can be modified by the ruleset and provided as output at the completion of execution. It is not possible to assign an initial value to the parameter using the initialValue
property.
-
local_dir
: The parameter value is local to the ruleset and can neither be specified as input to the ruleset, nor provided as output by the ruleset. You can assign an initial value to the parameter using the initialValue
property.
-
The
initialValue
parameter is an initial value that you can give to the parameter before the ruleset is executed.
Note |
in and input/output parameters must be given an initial value before running the application. The initial value must be entered in the Execution tab of the Options panel that appears when you start the ruleset execution.
out and local parameters can be given an initial value in the Property Sheet.
