Deborah,

You can check the name property of the object i.e.

Var1: Var2: Put _self_.name; return;

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to make repetitive model SCL code less repetitive. I have the same error-checking code (checking for missing values and reporting them to the user) for several variables. The model SCL looks something like this:

Var1: _self_._errorOffColumn('Var1'); return;

Var2: _self_._errorOffColumn('Var2'); return;

Some sections get a little more complicated, so I'd like to be able to use a structure like this:

Var1: Var2: SCL code here; return;

Is there a way to know whether Var1 or Var2 caused the code to execute? I can see the potential for saving myself a lot of coding time, but I'm not sure how to implement it.

Thanks,

Deborah
