Summary of special variables for accessing the runtime hierarchy

You can use @ID and @B/ @D/ @P<variable_name> special variables to get most of the batch, document, and page information from the runtime batch file.

For a full listing of special variables for accessing the runtime hierarchy, see Special variables for accessing the runtime hierarchy. The following examples illustrate how to use special variables to access the runtime hierarchy.

Similarly, you can get most of the field information from the runtime page data file by using the @ID, @F.<variable_name>, and @P\<field_name> special variables, for example.
