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
object Object
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.

How can we use variables for instance name?

I'm using 9 textbox in my stage. Names are similar, only difference is the last character. (s1_0, s1_1, s1_2, ...). I'm trying to use these textbox in a loop. But I couldn't find the right typing... s1_[i], s1_(i) or s1_{i} gives error.
s1_0.text=0
s1_1.text=0
s1_2.text=0
s1_3.text=0
s1_4.text=0
s1_5.text=0
s1_6.text=0
s1_7.text=0
how can make the shortest typing for this issue?

yes, its working, thank you very much...
I tried array operator but the word "this"..
what does it means ? when I delete this word, it gives error. how does flash know that it is a instance name?

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.

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?
Thanks in advance,

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.

Using variables as table names. Ideas for alternative designs

Hi,
I am designing an application which uses synonyms to pull information from 'client' DBs via DB Links. The synonyms are created with a DB_ID in the name (example: CUSTOMER_100, CUSTOMER_200... where 100 and 200 are DB IDs from 2 separate client DBs.
I have a procedure which selects data from the synonym based on what DB_ID is passed to the procedure. I want to be able to run this one procedure for any DB_ID that is entered. I am now aware I cannot use variable names for table names and using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE doesnt seem to fit for what I am trying to do.
Does anybody have any suggestions or re-design options I could use to achieve this generic procedure that will select from a certain synonym based on the DB info input parameters? Thanks.

Hi
rules engine style with table that holds the logic or code SQL directly in the procedure and IF THEN ELSE with db_id. Latter is better because SQL is native and objects are checked every time procedure is compiled.
James showed the simplest way but this rather complex way gives you more flexibility between instances if ever needed.

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.)

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.

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 variables inside MovieClip names to call them in ASP 3.

This line of code works fine for me:
this.helpB1Btns.helpB1B3.alpha = 0.3;
But I wonder how can I use variables instead of numbers ( 1 and 3 ) above??
I mean for example:
var i:int = 1;
var j:int = 3;
this["helpB"+i+"Btns.helpB"+i+"B"+j+".alpha"] = 0.3; //Error
["helpB"+i+"Btns.helpB"+i+"B"+j+".alpha"] = 0.3; //Error
this["helpB"+i+"Btns"].["helpB"+i+"B"+j+".alpha"] = 0.3; //Error
For instance, this code works fine:
this["helpB"+i+"Btns"].alpha = 0.3;
(this.helpB1Btns.alpha = 0.3;)
But I have no idea to code this:
this.helpB1Btns.helpB1B3.alpha = 0.3;
I appreciate your help or any refference I could learn this fundamentally?
yours,

If you are going to have a table name or a column name as a parameter, then you have to open the cursor dynamically. The following example uses Native Dynamic SQL (NDS) to open a ref cursor dynamically. I also eliminated the group by clause, since it is intended for use with aggregate functions and you weren't using an aggregate function. Also notice that there are some other differences in terms of defining variables and fetching and so forth.

Substitution Variable for Field Name - Use in LOV Defintion

Hi,
I need to build an application with a lrage number of fields based on an LOV (Select List). All the LOVs will be sourced from a single table:
LOOKUP_TYPE VARCHAR2(30)
LOOKUP_CODE VARCHAR2(30)
MEANING VARCHAR2(100)
Each field will therefore need a simple LOV of:
select lookup_code, meaning
from
app_lookups
where
lookup_type = 'LOOKUP_TYPE_NAME'
order by 2Not complicated but it will take a long time due to the number of fields (across many pages).
I would like to be able to have the same code for all fields. Something like:
select lookup_code, meaning
from
app_lookups
where
lookup_type = V('THIS_FIELDS_NAME')
order by 2With this code I could simply copy fields around and rename them - the LOVs would automatiically select the right values by using the Field Name to find the correct codes.
A long shot - but worth asking.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Andy,
Yes I know about Shared Component LOVs but this does not address my issue. I am also not restricting based on a page item value. I just want to restrict dynamically based on the field name.
On a page I will have at least 30 items, each with their own LOV. I can define an LOV for each item (either directly or though shared components) but each needs to be individually coded (where lookup_type = 'XXXX' with XXXX being different for every field).
If possible I would like to dynamically use the field name to select the group of lookup codes that I want - all fields could then have the same code (or potentially the same Shared Component LOV).
Not a major issue, but it would make my life a lot easier!!
