Using expression values in operator messages.

I am creating a turning program in UG V18. I have a part family with 5 different parts. I can create the different parts and tool paths by importing an expression table into the expression editor. What I want to do is, in the program make a gage cut and give the operator a specific diameter to check after the cut. The only way I have found to do this for all of the different parts is to edit the operator message for each part. Does anyone know how to pull data from the expression table into the operator message?


Example: In the expression table I have a diameter "A". I want to pull the value for diameter "A" into the operator message so that it will change along with the diameter for specific parts.

Thanks,
