System constants
*Values represents context related values, that can differ from mapping to mapping. A *Value represents a concrete value that can change without assigning a new value.
Basically a *Value is a type of placeholder, that returns the current value at the time of processing.
For example: *BASE.DATE8 is a value which will send the current date at the time of processing in the ISO0-Format (CYYMMDD).
There are basically three groups of *Values:
MODULE is the ID of the corresponding module. Therefore there is more than one group of module related *Values, that are viewed as a single group.
Only the core-*VALUES were discussed in this chapter. The module specific *Values are discussed in Module Specific Configuration and Properties.

To assign a constant to a node, you must:
Step 1:
Right-click on the appropriate point and set a constant value in the context menue.
Schritt 2:
In the next window click on the star and choose the desired constant
