Predefined variablesThere are some predefined variables that are assigned at the beginning of the script. Variables have an important role in Perfect Automation. They are used to save all kinds of integer and string values. In order to get the value of a variable, you should use the '#' characters. Suppose you define the name variable equal to John Smith.
