Process Purpose

The "Set System Variable" process is used to assign a value to a specific system variable. See System Variable.

When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the "Set System Variable" process.

If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.

Fill in the following options:

System Variables to Assign
System Var.	Select the desired system variable from the drop-down OR click to select a variable with the intended value. See Detail of Assignable System Variables below.
Description	Once the system variable is selected, this field displays its function.
Data	Define the new value to assign to that selected system variable OR click and select a variable with that value.

If required, click to attach any relevant notes to this process. Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".

After filling in the required options, click to conclude or to abort the operation.

The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.

Use the right-click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access some related options as well as the general "Cut", "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search" actions (active/inactive according to the current context).

If you right-click another input box, it may provide other possibilities.
