Name the variables block; helpful when there are multiple
This keyword is related to the topics:
Alias: none
Argument(s): STRING
Default: use of last variables parsed
The optional id_variables
keyword accepts a string that uniquely identifies this variables block. A model can then use these variables by specifying the same string in its variables_pointer
specification.
Default Behavior
If the id_variables
specification is omitted, a particular variables specification will be used by a model only if that model does not include an variables_pointer
and the variables block was the last (or only) one parsed.
Usage Tips
id_variables
can be safely omitted from the variables block (and variables_pointer
omitted from the model specification(s)), since there is no ambiguity.For example, a model specification including
model variables_pointer = 'V1'
will link to a response set with
id_variables = 'V1'
