Workflow application: COPYDATA usage

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
