Instead of inserting data from a fixed position like above, the data for the attribute or field can also
be stated in the following manners:
1. By stating a line type and Use relative line = Y, then data is selected from a the line
where the line type was found. If a number of lines above and/or below was specified for
a line type, then the topmost line counts as line one. (Refer to page 248 for details).
2. The Field or attribute can also be conditionally inserted with an operator and a compare
value. The possible values for the operator can be listed via F4. Refer to page 247 for the
complete list. The compare value is written without quotes.
3. Instead of values found in the spooled file you can also assign a constant value to the
attribute or field.
4. Apart from the above you can even run up to 3 functions. They are executed from the
left to the right. The final value will be the result after running all the functions. The
functions are listed below.

When you specify a variable to be used either for the XML file name or as a field/attribute in the
XML file, then you can use functions to calculate the final value.
The functions can be added, when editing the variables by pressing , where 3 fields
are shown. The functions are executed in the sequence from left to right.
The possible functions are:
