Hey guys,
I've looked in the past for a list of WPS 7 vairables that I can use in my packages. Is there an extensive list somewhere for this? Now, I'm not looking for Windows Variables. For example, if I write down C:\Program Files in my package, Wise will often replace it with [ProgramFilesFolder]. I'm looking for more of these variables.
Now, again, I've looked on google and multiple PDF's, and only thing I seem to find is variables used by Windows.
Thanks for the help!
Steph

The current project's File Name field in Project Setup.
[Notes]
The current project's Notes field in Project Setup.
[PackageName]
The current project's Package Name field in Project Setup.
[PackageStudioDir]
The directory in which Wise Package Studio is installed.
[ProductVendor]
The current projects's Product Vendor field in Project Setup.
[ProjectDir]
The current project's Project Directory field in Project Setup.
[ProjectName]
The current project's Project Name field in Project Setup.
[Sharepoint]
The current share point directory specified on the Workbench Preferences dialog > Repository tab.
[SoftwareManagerDSN]
The Software Manager database that is associated with the current share point directory.
[VendorPackage]
The current project's Vendor Package field in Project Setup.
