Dataset Variables in Parameters

In addition to literal strings, you can use dataset variables in a calculated expression. Variables in an expression are not enclosed between quotations marks. The name of the program in the following calculated expression includes variables and literal text:

"/usr/bin" + Datasets["/Application1/Settings"].ProgramName

Item:

Description:

Dataset Variables and Values: Hover over a dataset variable value to view a tooltip description for the variable if one is available.

Reference Variables from Datasets in Pre-Execution Code: Manually key in expressions that reference dataset variables.

When you want to use the output of one operator as the input for another operator, use the same variable reference by name. All input parameters are automatically converted to output dataset variables after the process finishes.
