PCA - Program Variables

The PCA uses Program Rule Variables to reference Data Elements contained in the Assessment, and also to store temporary Calculated Values such as Scores (see Image 1).

Similarly to the Program Rules, the variables are identified as scripted when the variable name starts with an underscore (_). The Variables follow some naming conventions:

• Calculated Values

• Compositive Scores (Variation of Calculated Values)

• Questions in the Assessment

• Competency

• Critical Score

• Non-critical Score
