In the Edit output variable dialog box you open by clicking on the browse button of the Redirect standard output to variable, Redirect error output to variable, Place return code in variable fields, you can create new variables or change existing ones and use them to store the standard output, error output or return code.

After the action is executed, the variables are discarded.
