set-system-var
This command creates a system variable.
Syntax
set-system-var name value
Parameters
- name
- Specifies the name of the variable to be created, and takes the
var://system/contextName/name
form.var://system
- Specifies the prefix that identifies a global variable.
contextName
- Specifies the name of the context for the global variable.
- value
- Specifies the value to assign.
Guidelines
The set-system-var command creates a new system variable that actions or stylesheets can access with the dp:variable() function. System variables, while globally accessible, must be defined within a specified context.
For example, var://system/Notes/jim
is correct as it sets the variable
jim
in the context Notes
within the system
scope.
However, var://system/Notes
and var://system/Notes/
are
incorrect as they specify only a scope and context, but not a variable.
Use the get-system-var command to print the value of a system variable to the CLI.
Example
Create the
counter
system variable in the signerID
context.# set-system-var var://system/signerID/counter 0
