Identifier Result
ActionStep Reference » Programming » Identifier » Identifier Result
The Define Result ActionStep specifies the name and data type of a result within the ActionScript in a Local Context. The chosen name for the Result parameter must be unique and can consist of any characters (numbers, letters, and special characters), including spaces to enhance readability. Unlike Write Result, the name of the Result parameter in Define Result is predetermined and not generated during runtime. Define Result establishes a fixed structure for the ActionScript's results.
