Facility Control

Hi,

perhaps this is a simple question but I didn't find the solution.

I use this script to declare my variables:

<lookup id="globVars">
<entry key="vars">
var teamA="myTeam";
var teamB="yourTeam";
var
</entry>
</lookup>

And what I want to do is when I click on my button I would like my variables update.
So here is my script.

<button buttontype="push" height="100" id="btn1l" left="1050" name="UPDATE VARS" style="look:flat;fg#FFFF00;" top="90" width="200">
<task tasktype="ogscript">/
%const['globVars']['vars']%;
teamA="TEAM A";
teamB="TEAM B";
ogscript.debug(teamA);
ogscript.debug(teamB);
</task>
</button>

But debug always return "myTeam" and "yourTeam" and not "TEAM A" and "TEAM B".

How can I proceed please ?

Thanks

When you use %const['lookup_id']['key']% it is the equivalent of writing that exact string of text in your script. In this case, the script in the button is throwing an exception but that may be a copy/paste issue. If I type:

<lookup id="globVars">
      <entry key="vars">var teamA="myTeam";
var teamB="yourTeam";</entry>
   </lookup>

(remove the extra "var" at the end)

and remove the "/" at the start of:

<button buttontype="push" height="100" id="btn1l" left="1050" name="UPDATE VARS" style="look:flat;fg#FFFF00;" top="90" width="200">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">%const['globVars']['vars']%;
teamA="TEAM A";
teamB="TEAM B";
ogscript.debug(teamA);
ogscript.debug(teamB);</task>
   </button>

I do get "TEAM A" and "TEAM B" printed.

That said, I strongly-recommend you reconsider your approach here. Using look-ups to store blocks of script was a common approach before the tag was created. Now that it exists, you are better-off declaring your common code and variables in one of those tags and working with them directly.

<api immediate="true" name="Global Variables">var teamA="myTeam";
var teamB="yourTeam";</api>

<button buttontype="push" height="100" id="btn1l" left="1050" name="UPDATE VARS" style="look:flat;fg#FFFF00;" top="90" width="200">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">teamA="TEAM A";
teamB="TEAM B";
ogscript.debug(teamA);
ogscript.debug(teamB);</task>
   </button>

Sorry James, I write my script directly in the post and I make mistake.
But you understood what I try to do.
So now I go to change my approach to declare variables, and use tag for this.
I try it and it works good.
Thanks a lot.
