Using Substitution Variables

The following substitution variables let you symbolically pass various list entry attributes to the command or user-option that is to operate on the model object list. You can use these substitution variables with the Execute a Model Object List (YEXCMDLLST) command, on the Edit Model Object List panel Command line, and with user-defined options.

The prefix for the substitution variables may be either '&' or '@'. If you are using PDM to maintain your user option list, you need to use '@' as the prefix. You can also specify an alternate character in the Toolkit data area, YPEXCHA.

Substitution Variable	Corresponding Model Object Attribute
&YN	Object name
&Y@	Object surrogate
&YT	Object type
&YA	Object attribute
&YO	Object owner name
&YW	Object owner surrogate
&YY	Object owner type
&YR	Object group surrogate
&YM	Model list name
&YI	Object implementation name
&YP	Object promotion type
&YS	Object SEU type
&YU	User name
&YL	Model library name
&YG	Change type
&YF	Function type
&YZ	Assimilated file

Note: If you are unable to enter '@' into the command parameter (for example, if it is numeric), you can either use the RQSDTA parameter on the YEXCMDLLST command and enter the command as a string, or you can specify RQSDTA(*USROPT) and specify a PDM user-defined option.

Enclose the &YN, &YO substitution variables in quotes since they can result in text containing blanks.
