Text Parameter

Text parameters are used for text objects such as a person's name, a favourite colour, etc.

The syntax for a text parameter is:

<text parameter> ::=

<declaration field>

type text

[<explanation field>]

[<rules field (with text expressions)>]

[<question field>]

[<picture field>]

If the text parameter gets its value from an answer to a question, ESTA will show a dialog box, with the question and an edit line for the answer.

Examples

parameter name 'the name of the user'

type text

question 'What is your name ?'

The parameter name looks like this in a dialog:

{bml TXT_PAR.BMP}
