AA supports and suggests an SVN integration, however the control rooms themselves can also provide this capability, should you not require your repository to be distributable or highly available.
There's a command within Automation Anywhere, bundled with additional XML commands, which is simply titled "Insert Node" which is very simple. Just insert the XPath Expression (ie //root/test), the name of the node, and the value for the node and it will append it to whatever XPath you choose.
All variables hold strings naturally. Clipboard is an option which takes data from where you've copied it. Prompt-assignment is the generic testing variable you can use to store information. Of note: strings containing only numbers must be handled carefully as they are compiled at runtime and you cannot specify ahead of time that they're integers. Output may vary.
