Using variables
You can set fixed values for function elements in authorization definitions. You can implement variables to use a function definition for different function instances. For this, the following is valid:
You can also use system variables as well as self-defined variables in the authorization definition. System variables have the following syntax: ${character}+ (example: $AUFART).
Variables must be uniquely identifiable by the authorization check. Therefore, names of self-defined variables may not match system variables or begin with system variable name.
