Using MAP parameter type through Xacute Query

[Former Member]

Hey All,

I have a transaction that has an input parameter of type Map.

My question is what is the format I have to pass to the transaction through an xacute query.

I've tried

Key=[string:Value]

Any help would be appreciated.

I created a test transaction and xacute query. It returned me this:

{TEST2=[double:3.0], TEST=[string:001]}

But when I pass that string back and try and get the values they don't exist.

I have a program that prints crystal reports. This program requires dynamic parameters based on the report being printed, 1 - n number of parameters. So I figure if I pass in a map of the parameter name and parameter value to a transaction I can easily use these values.

Hi Jasper,

This worked for me, give it a try and let me know. Obviously, substitute your own key/value pairs I added a Tracer inside the transaction, and this is the format that was display in the Tracer Message.

{myInt=[[integer:22]], myString=[[string:burp]]}

Pardon all my edits, for some reason, the brackets weren't showing, should be brackets around integer:22 and string:burp

I think I got it fixed!

Kind Regards,

Diana

Thanks Diana I played around with it a little more and you don't need the square brackets if it's only a string but to specify the type it has to be enclosed in the square brackets.

Create an output property of map and see what the result is when called from another transaction using a tracer to display the property in each of the two transactions. That should give you the format (and it should be the same in both).

Why are you using a map datatype as an input? (for my own curiosity).
