<$triggerAbbr>

Trigger name abbreviation.

<$triggerAbbr>

#define<$triggerAbbr>=Value

Scope

Trigger or container, depending on where the constant is defined. By default, <$triggerAbbr> has container scope.

Description

You can explicitly define an abbreviation, or any other string, to identify a particular trigger. If you do so, you must also explicitly define the scope using #startdefine and #enddefine. For example:

#startdefine
#define $triggerAbbr=Detail
trigger detail
   ...
end
#enddefine

If not explicitly defined, <$triggerAbbr> returns the following abbreviations:
