Scope/Lifetime	Live in the profile (and not in other profiles) during the profile run/test.

These variables can be created in a profile in phase 3 and are valid only in this profile (in contrast to system variables). The variable name within the profile must be unique.

Define variables

(1) Initialize variables type-safe: Prevents, for example, that an Integer value of 1 is returned as string 1.0. To do so, the content of the variable is internally stored as basic type and not as a string.

(2) Variable, Type: Name and type of the variable.

(3) Value: The initial value of the variable. This can either be a constant value or a field value from the source tree (syntax: @fieldname@). If the initial value is a field value, the variable is initialized when the field first receives a value. If additionally option "Reset" is active, this initialisation will be done again for each record. Otherwise, the initial value will only be assigned once, at the beginning of the job. Attention: Do not activate option "Reset" for variables with prefix MSG_CALL_ and system variables which only receive a value once at the beginning of a job. Note: See also function reset variables() .

(4) Done: The values will not be permanently saved until you click here.
