Writing into the variable belonging to an imported type

You can write a value into a variable of imported type in the following ways:

• You can assign a value to the variable when you create it.
• You can assign a value to the variable using the Variable update action.

You can assign the following types of values to a variable belonging to an imported type:

• An instance of the same type. This instance can be either in a variable of the same type, or from a call to a method that returns an instance of the same type.
• The value null. To signify the value null, you can use one of the following:
  • The keyword null.
  • A blank input field (if you are using the Macro Editor), such as the Initial Value field on the Variables tab, or the Value field on the Variable update window.
  • An empty attribute (if you are using the Code Editor), as in the value attribute of the following <create> element:

    <create name=$ht$ type="Hashtable" value="" />
