In the following example, the Cancellation data transformation contains an InputVariable and an Input part within that variable called VnotEnoughCredit and message. You can use the transformation text box to write simple transformations using XSLT or more complex transformations using Xpath. In that case the Input variable list remains empty:
A target container (Assigned variable), which contains the result of the transformation in the General tab. In the following example, the Cancellation data transformation contains an assigned variable and an assigned part within that variable, called VCancelOrder and CancelInfo, because the source container also has a part (Input Part):
