Tips, Tricks, Gotchas & Best Practices:
- The value for the variables can also be driven from a Data-file, System Defined Variable or User Defined Variable.
- In conditions, while comparing numeric values, do not use double quotes("), as it would consider the value as a string.
- As a best practice, it is always advisable to define the variable names without any spaces and if you want to differentiate the words, use underscore or hyphen.
