Constant

Returns a constant value.

Properties

Value Enter the constant value. A newline is specified as \n; a tab is \t, and a backslash is \\.

Constant values can also include escaped characters, such as \n, \r or \t, or Unicode characters, such as \u0040.

DataType Select a data type to be associated with the value. This is used only for special cases. One of these cases is for the QName data type when used to process an xsi:type attribute for example. When using the QName data type, if you want to omit the URI portion of the QName, specify the colon as the first character, like this: :localName
