Script Action: Format Variable Value
Function
Formats the variable value according to the specified format
functions. With this action you can specify several formatting
functions that are consecutively applied on the value of the input
variable. The resulting value is stored in the same variable.
Deployment
This script action is
typically used to remove undesired characters from the variable value
or limit the length of the variable value. The original content of the
variable often is determined by a user provided import file. Such a file
is likely to contain some irregularities, or the format may be not always
be exactly correct. This action helps to correct such problems. For instance,
by removing any trailing blanks in the value.
