WorkflowGen 6.1.4 includes the new COPYDATA application, used to copy data from a parameter to a different data.
All parameters are optional, and parameter names can be set by the process designer. To copy a data from one to another, the only action required is to set the default value as the data to copy and set the data into which you want to retrieve it (as long as the data type is compatible). The parameters’ directions must be INOUT. There is no limit to the number of parameters.
Optional parameters
| Parameter | Type | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| DATA_DATETIME1 | Date/Time | INOUT | DATETIME type data to copy. |
| DATA_FILE1 | File | INOUT | FILE type data to copy. |
| DATA_NUMERIC1 | Numeric | INOUT | NUMERIC type data to copy. |
| DATA_TEXT1 | Text | INOUT | TEXT type data to copy. |
**Examples of parameters**
| Parameter | Type | Direction | Send/retrieve value |
|---|---|---|---|
| DATA_FILE1 | File | INOUT | Send value of FORM_DATA Retrieve value into FORM_ACTION_ACTION1 |
| MY_PARAMETER_NAME | Text | INOUT | Send value of MY_TEXT_DATA Retrieve value into MY_OTHER_TEXT_DATA |
