SetVar function in Workload automation DE 12.2

[Manoj Kumar Korupolu]

Hi ,

We are looking to set the variable using setVar function through a javascript as below
setVar('TEST_JAVASCRIPT','','CHECKRC');

here TEST_JAVASCRIPT is variable
'' is empty string
CHECKRC is context

As per the documentation,it says

value Defines the value of the global variable. 0-1024 charactersLimits: To specify an empty string, enter two single quotes ('').

But i am trying to give the value as empty string suggested above it is throwing the below error.
[Mon Jul 06 03:01:14 PDT 2020] [DEV_R12] - Error executing job-level runtime JavaScript script for job org.mozilla.javascript.WrappedException: Wrapped com.ca.wa.comp.library.script.WAScriptException: setVar: No value specified, please check the syntax. (<wascope>#1). The error is: {2}

Can you help us to resolve this issue?

Note: We have very recently upgraded from R11 to R12. In R11 the above Syntax is working,where as in R12 it shows above issue.

HI,
You need to specify some value.  A value is needed for any variable even if you have a blank space.  The JavaScript engine error you are seeing is about null value.  So you can to put in a space between quotes like this and it should work.
   setVar('TEST_JAVASCRIPT',' ','CHECKRC');

HTH,

Hi,

I think what Nitin suggests should work. However, as you have mentioned that it used to work fine in previous release. Can you please raise an issue for this.
