WIZARDARG

A single RPE variable that is created from the ARG string in an appl wizard command, which can be read by any of the wizard's supporting code to receive input from its 'caller.'

If you want to pass multiple pieces of information from the caller to the wizard, you would need to format the information into a single string with an identifiable delimiter (for example, |).

For example, to pass a businessobject type, current state and owner, you could collect them into a Tcl variable sArgString as follows:

set sArgString "$sType|$sState|$sOwner"

appl wizard bus $sBusId MyWizard $sArgString

Then, the wizard program that reads the WIZARDARG RPE variable could split it up again as follows:

set sArgString [mql get env WIZARDARG]

set lArgList [split $sArgString |]

set sType [lindex $lArgList 0]

set sState [lindex $lArgList 1]

set sOwner [lindex $lArglist 2]
