Assigning a value to a variable
To assign a value to a variable while a rule set is executing, you must use the Set Variables action. From within an instance of the action, you can assign multiple variable values at once. You must create the variable before you can assign a value to it. To set a value, add a Set Variables action to the rule chainOptional variable marks parameters
Variable marks template format Use the following format: $[tag,<n1, n2>] where: tag is the name of a variable mark, for example Job or Color. n1 … and represents the maximum number of characters for the variable mark. Examples: If the text is "TestJob", the variable mark $[Jobname<2,4>] displays stJoUsing variable marks
You can add variable or regular marks by following the same process. Type the variable marks in the marks file. Note: Leave enough space between each variable mark to ensure that the populated variable marks do not overlap each other, or use the $[compound] variable mark to print more than one mark on a single lineRetrieving a variable value
Each type of variable requires a unique prefix to reference it.

, and output date. Variable marks, also known as marks or slug lines, allow this information to be gathered at the time of output. When an output process template is executed, variable marks are replaced with the correct information. You can add variable marks to your output either using an imposition marks file or usingAssigning a value to a variable

As with other variable marks with potentially long values, ensure that you leave plenty of space for the value that replaces the mark.

There are two root events which can be used to monitor the changing of variable values. The Global Variables Changed root event can be used to monitor global variables from any rule set it is included in, and the Ruleset Variables Changed root event can be used to monitor rule set variables in the rule set
