The restrictions are as follows:

  • TYPE specifies the type of data passed through the parameter. The following types are available: TEXT, NUMBER, BOOL, DATE, WIZARD (a reference to a Content Wizard in the project), FORM (a reference to a Form in the project), TEXTBLOCK (a reference to a Text Block in the project).
  • Parameter names are case-sensitive and must start with an uppercase character. Parameter names follow the same conventions as entry names.
  • You must define parameters after the #BEGIN instruction.
