Global Variables

Global Variables	CURRENT_LINE: the file currently being iterated upon. This is a Flow variable and it returns a string. 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 files iterated upon so far. This is a Flow variable and it returns an integer. STATUS: the execution result of the component. This is an After variable and it returns a string. A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component. To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl + Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it. For further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.
