The purpose of a variable is to allow job switching and wait state controls that go beyond the traditional prerequisites and initiates. The values contained in variables can exist either in the database or as a local, temporary variable. There are two basic variables types:
1.String variables: Any alphanumeric string can be used as a variable.
2.Temporary variables: Temporary variables only hold value for the duration of the job run. They include time settings, job parameters and job information. Temporary variables begin with a $.
3.Variable Expressions: EnterpriseSCHEDULE supports a rich set of enhanced variable expressions that feature simple or complex math expressions, date expressions and string expressions. This extends the power of variables and allows for run time calculation of dates and other values.
