OPTION

This predefined field can be used either to set an option in a manner transparent to the end user, or to intercept the end user’s option selections. If statements are used to set OPTION to a specific value, APPX will behave as though the user had selected that option. The field can be intercepted only in the Option Intercept event points, and can be intercepted or set either at the frame level or the image level. To set this field, use the Pre-Display or Option Intercept event points.
