Many of the functions described in this section return information that should be stored in custom variables. For information about how to create a custom variable, see Creating new (custom) variables in the Avaya IVR Designer Help.
Some function attributes require a Dummy variable. A Dummy variable is a custom variable with Length set to 256 and Type set to character. Use this variable only for external function attributes that require a Dummy variable. Do not use the Dummy variable in any other part of the application. You can name the Dummy variable whatever you want. The name Dummy is used here as an example only.
