Global Variables

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box.

NB_LINE: the number of rows processed. This is an After variable and it returns an integer.

CURRENT_ITERATION: the sequence number of the current iteration. This is a Flow variable and it returns an integer.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.
