Use variable for filename for exportdata

I am trying to set a var value and then use the var in the exportdata method using formcalc.
var txtFileName = "DataFileName"
if (tbxVicName.isNull) then
var txtFileName = Concat(num2date(date(), "YYYY_MMM_DD"),"_CameronDamageAssesment")
xfa.host.exportData(Ref(txtFileName.rawValue),0)
else
var txtFileName = Concat(num2date(date(), "YYYY_MMM_DD"),tbxVicName.rawValue)
xfa.host.exportData(txtFileName,0)
endif
Thanks for any assistance.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

Using variables for answers to fill-in-the-blank questions

Hello,
For fill-in-the-blank questions, one has to provide answers. I want to provide these in the form of (user-created) variables, rather than in the form of fixed strings of characters (so then, as $$var1$$ rather than as 'rabbit'). I haven't been able to get this to work. The enter variable function is indeed available (in the properties panel), but it doesn't actually work (i.e. even if you select a variable to be entered, it doesn't actually get entered).
Is there a way around the problem?
1. NB that this same issue holds for text entry boxes (rather than fill-in-the-blank questions). If I could get this to work for text entry boxes, I would use them rather than fill-in-the-blank questions.
2. One can use variables for answers to multiple choice questions. So I'm hoping I can get it to work for fill-in-the-blank questions as well.
Thank you in advance. Marvin DuBois

That would have been my suggestion. I don't have a dedicated blog post, but use TEB's for that kind of questions myself as well. And contrary to the widget/interaction I mentioned before, a TEB is an interactive object, which means it can be validated and there can be a score attached to it. But, it will not help you, since you have to add the correct answers in the same way as for a dropdown list in the FIB question (they are sort of TEB's there). And it is that list that doesn't allow to enter a variable instead of a fixed sequence of characters.
Which means that you are back to the advanced actions, same as in my blog posts with the widget/interaction.
Have a workaround (after all I am the workaround Queen) to have reporting, if you need to check only one TEB, described here:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/report-custom-questions-part-2
The idea is to use another interactive object that can have a score. In reality I use two instances of that same object: one with score 0 and one with score X and show the right one depending on the conditional action.
However if you want to have multiple TEB's on the same slide, that have to be checked all with the same advanced action, than you'll need either the Mastery widget by InfoSemantics (only for SWF output) or Javascript.

Hi,
The parser does not under variables directly in dml statements.u need to form a statement and the parse and execute the same...
so the soln is
Declare
lv_stmt varchar2(250);
Begin
lv_stmt := 'Delete from '| |ls_prev_table;
execute immediate lv_stmt;
-- Same is the case with the insert stmt--
End;
This should solve ur problem.
u could also give a direct call like
execute immediate 'Delete from '| |ls_prev_table ;
Note: This statement "execute immediate" holds good for oracle versions 8.x and above which makes the stmt very simple. For lower version u need to use the dbms_sql package to parse and execute the statement which has a series of statements for the same.

How can I use variable for a package filename and target file inODIFileMove

I want to use a variable for paths so that when I migrate from Dev to QA to Prod I don't have to do a lot of editing.
Specifically, I want a variable to be the first part of the path for the filename (\\sundev1\fnd1-hypd1) and join this with the rest (\update\log\*.log or specific filename) using several different objects like the ODIFileMove, ODI OS Command, OS Command, etc.
Thank you!

Hi,
you could set up a database table holding processing parameters (i.e. Column1 - ParamName, Column2 - ParamValue).
One row could then be ParamName = FilePath, ParamValue = \\<server>\folder\
So, the refreshing query (attached to a logical schema) would be something like SELECT ParamValue FROM <your table> WHERE ParamName ='FilePath'
Then, create a variable which can refresh from the database and in the package, drop the variable onto the flow and set it's type to 'Refresh Variable' in the properties.
Hope this helps.

Using variables for function arguments AS2

Hello,
I am trying to create a function in AS2.
After creating the function, I want to use values stored in variables for the function arguments rather than manually typing static values for carrying out the function calculation. Also, I want to use the function to assign a new value to the existing variable.
I have asked a similar question 2 days ago here and got the answer (thank you), but now I got one more question - How can I create the function to assign a value to the variable while that variable itself is also a function argument?
For example, I have 6 numeric variables:
var CoinA:Number = 10;
var CoinB:Number = 20;
var CoinC:Number;
var CoinD:Number = 30;
var CoinE:Number = 40;
var CoinF:Number;
Then I tried to create a function to assign values to variables CoinC and CoinF:
function CalculationA(FirstCoin, SecondCoin, ThirdCoin):Void {
FirstCoin = SecondCoin + ThirdCoin;
CalculationA(CoinC, CoinA, CoinB);
CalculationA(CoinF, CoinE, CoinF);
The above code didn't really assign the values 30 and 70 to the variables CoinC and CoinF but instead, values of CoinC and CoinF are undefined.
Please give me the correct code if there's a correct way of doing this.
Thank you,

Here is one way of doing it, by passing a string value of the variable name instead of the actual variable name....
var CoinA:Number = 10;
var CoinB:Number = 20;
var CoinC:Number;
var CoinD:Number = 30;
var CoinE:Number = 40;
var CoinF:Number;
function CalculationA(FirstCoin, SecondCoin, ThirdCoin):Void {
this[FirstCoin] = SecondCoin + ThirdCoin;
CalculationA("CoinC", CoinA, CoinB);
CalculationA("CoinF", CoinD, CoinE);
(Note that in your second function call I changed the coins since CoinF (ThirdCoin) is undefined at that point.)

SPSiteDataQuery - filter by file Title - Can I use variable for the filter value?

I use SPsiteDataQuery to search across multiple lists and filter by file title. I have the file title information in a variable.
Can I use variable in the filter value?
string fileName = "Policies.doc"
SPSiteDataQuery spQry = new SPSiteDataQuery();
spQry.ViewFields = "<FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>fileName</Value>"

If I have understood correctly, you want to search based upon a File title in all the sites. You can include a query to filename in the spQry
spQry.Query = "<Where>" +
"<Eq>" +
"<FieldRef Name=\"FileLeafRef\"/>" +
"<Value Type=\"Text\">" + fileName + "</Value>" +
"</Eq>" +
"</Where>";

Use variable for symbol name

I am trying to reference a symbol element that looks like this:
elementName = variableName + "Menu";
var menuChoice = sym.getSymbol('printMenu').$(elementName);
when I console.log ("menuChoice" + menuChoice) I get

How do I accomplish using a variable as a symbol name?

Yes. I have a function that does a number of things so I am not looking to rewrite the menu Symbol.

Using Variable in place of property name in set_item_property procedure.

Hello,
I need to change the item properties dynamically by using variables for both properties names and their values.But during compilation its showing me error "Too many declrations".Kindly suggest me any best way.

You already have the answer to that one in the posting above.
Your table would presumable include rows HEIGHT, WIDTH etc.. as text columns
So you'd cross reference as above.
Alternatively you could find out what the numerical values are for HEIGHT (1509) and WIDTH (1508) are and store them in your master table alongside the description that your user will see. Then you can simply do the set_item_property.
This relies heavily on Oracle not changing the values for these constants. Even if they did you would just have to change your table. Then your solution is generic and future proof.
Built in for all properties: Not that I know of. But you could sort of use your table as above to help. Simply loop through the constants, do a get_item_property, and show that to the user.
You'll have to be careful about maybe classifying the things in your table to ensure you don't try to get an inappropriate property for the type of item.
With a little effort this will all definitely be possible.
I saw a thread the other day where someone had created a form called "props.fmb" which showed the item properties in a tree style. See if you can find that. This was fairly hard coded compared to what you want, but it would be pretty good as a basis.

Syntax to export 18 months of data at any given time using variables?

I have written a calculation script for exporting data from an application using DATAEXPORT. I want to get 18 months of data in my exported text files at any point of time. So, I want to specify the range using variables for Period and Year but I am kind of stuck on how should I be writing it in my script.
Please let me know the correct syntax using variables or if you could share some link that would help me know that would be a help.
Can I use @XRANGE Function???
Thanks !

Srinivas --> Thanks for clarifying that. After I read your post I did go through the @XRANGE again and noticed that they had use cross dimensional operators so it put me in a confusion. But you cleared it by being more specific this time. Thanks a lot !
If I follow what Robb suggested then like you mentioned when 3 years will be involved its going to be difficult I guess. Not sure at this point which way would be the best to get this work.
I agree with CL - 18 months rolling forecast can be annoying seriously.
Can one of you please suggest me a permanent and most efficient solution for this out of all the ideas that would not require manual work and can be automated completely?
Thank you all for your inputs. I really appreciate it.
