Hi,

If you defined a variable in your target structure and wish to use this variable in some user defined function, then you should just use it as a regular parameter to this user defined function!

Remember you can drag your target nodes to the current mapping of a given node - this also includes variables.

Hi Daniel,

my purpose was to read the variable directly in the UDF.

The way you mention is to read it (via drag&drop) and treat it as an UDF-inputparameter .

As my UDF already has already 8 inputvariables I am looking for a way to reduce the the inputparameters via reading the variables directly in the UDF.

Thanks

Hi,

This is not possible as per my understanding. Also, I don't see why you would wanna do it that way. You then make it less apparent what is happening in your function.

But you can always use the Java Area in a similar way as previous releases to create global variables and then set/get their values using simple user-defined functions. This way u can achieve what u want.
