RESOLVE_VAR

Use the RESOLVE_VAR script function to resolve a variable in text. The system tries to resolve any type of variable:

• PromptSet variables
• System variables
• Script variables
• VARA objects

Syntax

RESOLVE_VAR (Variable)

• RESOLVE_VAR
  Resolves the value of a variable

• Variable
  Name of the variable or VARA object to resolve
  Format: Script literal or script variable

Examples

An SQLI VARA object called VARA.SQLI_TEST includes SQL that returns version and build numbers. A script in a Job resolves the SQLI VARA object in a text. The script assigns the resulting phrase ("This is version" followed by the retrieved version number) as the value of a script variable.

:SET &txt# = RESOLVE_VAR("This is version {VARA.SQLI_TEST}")
:PRINT &txt#

The script prints the script variable in a report:

2014-11-18 11:50:22 - U00020408 This is version 11.0.0+build.2751

The following example retrieves and resolves a variable. Assume that the value stored in the VARA object VARA_RESOLVE (key 1, value 1) is a phrase ("this is the main key").

:SET &var# = {VARA_RESOLVE,key1,1}
:PRINT &var#

:SET &val# = RESOLVE_VAR(&var#)
:PRINT &val#

The script prints the following lines in the report:

2014-11-18 17:50:32 - U00020408 {VARA_RESOLVE,key1,1}

2014-11-18 17:50:32 - U00020408 this is the main key
