Using Keywords and Special Characters in Action Scripts

Sometimes backends use parameter names that are forbidden within xUML Action Language as they are keywords (e.g. create) or contain illegal characters (e.g. /ISIDEX/E1VDEWBGM_1000). Nevertheless, you may want to use these parameters within action script and they can be made usable by masking them.

To access such parameters it is possible to mask them by putting them in backticks:
`illegalParameterName`

Selecting the parameter from the list of available objects will make the Action Script Editor automatically mask it.

This feature should be used carefully and only in the above mentioned cases.

For objects with masked names the Action Script Editor will suggest corresponding attributes when typing a dot after the attribute name.
