Syntax

Description/Format

RunID

The running number (RunID) of the task.
Format: script literal or script variable

Variable Name

The name of an object or PromptSet variable of the specified task (without a leading & character).
Format: AE name

In arrays, you must additionally used empty brackets [] at the end of the name.

Return codes
The value of the object or PromptSet variable.

Comments

You can use this script function together with :SET and :FILL. The script statement :SET can read the value of a regular object or PromptSet variable or of an individual PromptSet array element and :FILL can read a complete PromptSet array.

You can only define PromptSet variables as arrays in checklist and checkbox elements.

Examples

The following example activates an object and then reads its object variable &VARIABLE1#.

:SET &RUNID# = ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT(&OBJ#,WAIT)
:SET &VAR# = GET_PUBLISHED_VALUE(&RUNID#,VARIABLE1#)
:PRINT "&&VARIABLE1# = &VAR#"

The second example reads the PromptSet variable &CHECKLIST1# that has been defined as an array. Only the value of the first array element is read here.

:SET &RUNID# = ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT(&OBJ#,WAIT)
:SET &VAR# = GET_PUBLISHED_VALUE(&RUNID#,CHECKLIST1#[1])
:PRINT "&&CHECKLIST1#[1] = &VAR#"

The following scenario retrieves the activated task's complete PromptSet array. Then, the individual PromptSet elements are output in the activation report. If the PromptSet array exceeds the size of the script array, the system only stores the elements that fit in.

:DEFINE &ARRAY#, string, 10
:SET &RUNID# = ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT(&OBJ#,WAIT)
:FILL &ARRAY# = GET_PUBLISHED_VALUE(&RUNID#,CHECKLIST1#[])
:SET &LEN# = LENGTH(&ARRAY#[])
:SET &VAR# = 1

:WHILE &VAR# LE &LEN#
:PRINT "&&ARRAY#[&VAR#] = &ARRAY#[&VAR#]"
:SET &VAR# = &VAR# + 1
:ENDWHILE

Script element	Description
:FILL	Stores several values to a script array.
:PUBLISH	Defines script variables and arrays as object variables.
