Default Values for Parameters 

To assign a default value to a parameter, you use the following syntax:

PARAMETERS p ...... DEFAULT f ......

Default value f  can be either a literal or a field name. You can only use fields that contain a value when the program is started. These fields include several predefined data objects.

The input field of the parameter on the selection screen is filled with the default value. The user can accept or change this value.
