Binding Definition from Source Container to Target Container

Special information on multiline elements

Multiline source element — single-line target element

A multiline source element cannot be fully assigned to a single-line target element.

It is possible with a binding definition from the workflow container to the task container to assign a multiline source element line-by-line to a single-line target element within parallel processing. For this, the multiline element in the workflow container must be entered as a multiline container element on the tab page Other. For further information, please refer to Table-Driven Dynamic Parallel Processing.

In the F4 input help you select the entry... with index. The source element is shown with parentheses in the binding editor display: &<MultilineElement>()&

Expression type

Permitted binding direction

Explanation

&<MultilineElement>&

 

Not permitted

&<MultilineElement>()&

Within parallel processing the binding is executed from the current line of the multiline element if:

  • The multiline element is defined as a multiline container element.
  • The source and target elements are defined with compatible field references

&<Object>().<Attribute>&

Source and target element with compatible field references

Multiline source element — multiline target element

The multiline content of the source element is assigned fully to the target element.

Single-line source element — multiline target element

To assign several single values to a target element defined as multiline, you create additional input lines in the binding editor by selecting the target element and choosing .

Special information on elements with structure reference

Source element with structure reference — target element with field reference

You can assign the entire structure to a target element. The target element must be defined to a sufficient length, otherwise part of the content will be cut off.

Source element with field reference — target element with structure reference

The content of the source element is written into the structure of the target element. The structure itself is not taken into account.
