A "." is defined as separator (default). For raw texts, all accesses to variable names must be supplemented by the alias name and the separator. This makes the variable amount unique, for example. Extract from the raw text:

{REF customers.Amount}
{REF single item.Amount}

The parameter is used in the application example Serial Letter.
