What is the correct syntax to use when defining a parameter?

• A. |!ParamView!|
• B. |ParamView|
• C. ParamView
• D. !ParamView!

Answer: (A)

In OneStream, parameter references must be written as a runtime-resolved token. That means you wrap the parameter name in vertical bars and indicate dynamic evaluation with exclamation marks. The exact form |!ParamView!| tells the system to treat ParamView as a parameter value to be looked up from the parameter view at run time, rather than a literal string. Without the exclamations, |ParamView| would be a plain token that isn’t marked for dynamic resolution, and just ParamView (without any bars) would be seen as plain text or an invalid reference. Using !ParamView! without the surrounding bars also isn’t recognized as the standard token format. So the correct syntax is the token enclosed in bars with exclamations inside: |!ParamView!|.
