Using ITERATE varaible in temp variable name

[Steve Drozdowski]

Hello, I am just checking to see if this is possible – It doesn’t seem to be working for me, but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

I want to use an ITERATE variable as part of a temp variable name, ex: @myvar_%l1

So, if I was iterating over a list with elements “1 2 3”, I could reference 3 different temp variables @myvar_1 @myvar_2 and @myvar_3.

This doesn not seem to do anything – In fact is seems to always generate @myvar_0 ?

I am running CL 5.6 on AIX 5.3.

Thanks in advace!

Steve,

Hmmm, well I can’t get the Xlate to compile at all using %l1 as you describe.

Can you share the actual Xlate gui showing what you are attempting?

Hi Jim, my bad, I can’t get it to compile either…  So, I don’t think it is going to work at all.  I think it would work with FRL or VRL field names, but apparently not with temp variable names.  This would be a very nice feature.  🙂

Thanks anyway.

Hi Steve,

What you could do is use @myvar as a list, like {25 4 31}. Then by iterating over %l1, you can get the corresponding item from the list with

Code:

COPY @myvar $%l1 -> @value

and tclcode

Code:

set xlateOutVals [list [lindex [lindex $xlateInVals 0] [lindex $xlateInVals 1]]]
