  • 1.  How to SET a unknown variable

    Posted Nov 12, 2018 07:51 AM

    I'm using an external (XML) source to execute a Script.
    The XML has several input parameters. But the count of parameters varies.
    I want to SET all the variables which are deliverd by the XML.
    For example;
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <uc4:executeObject xmlns:uc4="http://www.uc4.com/uc4/">
       <objectName>SCRI.CHANGE_UPDATE</objectName>
       <inputParameter>
          <name>MessageID</name>
          <value>58A8BD1E-F832-4A86-D487-ABC133F91F00</value>
       </inputParameter>
       <inputParameter>
          <name>ClientTicketID</name>
          <value>0001546052</value>
       </inputParameter>
       <inputParameter>
          <name>PartnerTicketID</name>
          <value>CHG1234567</value>
       </inputParameter>
       <inputParameter>
          <name> . . . </name>
          <value> . . . </value>
       </inputParameter>
    </uc4:executeObject>

     

    Based on the given inputparameters I want to read the corresponding values.
    :READ &MESSAGEID#,,"MessageID",,"K"

    :READ &CLIENTTICKETID#,,"ClientTicketID",,"K"

    :READ &PARTNERTICKETID#,,"PartnerTicketID",,"K"

     

    In our process we use this for passing through the variables provided by the XML.

    So we don't always know which variables are used.

    Thus I'am looking for a method to SET/READ/DEFINE those variables dynamically.

     

    Are there any idease/suggestions 

     

    Thanks for contributing ideas

    Hi

     

    I think SET_SCRIPT_VAR should do the trick.
