<@USERREFERENCE>

Description

Returns a unique number identifying the user executing the application file in which the tag appears. If no user reference number was received (via the "_userReference" search argument or an HTTP cookie) when the application file was called, a new number is generated; otherwise, the number passed in is returned.

For more information on user variable tracking, see Chapter 7, "Using Variables," in the User's Guide.

The user reference number can be used for reliable tracking of user variables.
