If you are using templates, then use RAP for the event handlers.

What is ADDM? Is it a variable in your application? RAP isn't aware of
global variables in your application. You would need to either code a
pass-thru function to surface this value in RAP (see the RAP demos in your
installation), or create a JIT pipeline and use the pipeline to send the
value.
