Hi,

How can I create a switch in a variable. I have set as a function and as readonly. Type is string

I have the following, but get an error : "Invalid expression term 'switch'.

Code: Select all

switch (DataSource1.ClaimType)
		{
			case 5:
				ToUpperCase("MyText1");
				break;
				
			case 6:
				ToUpperCase("MyText2");
				break;
				
			case 7:
				ToUpperCase("MyText3");
				break;
				
			case 8:
				ToUpperCase("MyText4");
				break;

			case 9:
				ToUpperCase("MyText5");
				break;

			case  10:         
				ToUpperCase("MyText6");
				break;

			case  11:         
				ToUpperCase("MyText7");
				break;

			default:
				DataSource1.ClaimTypeDescription;
        		break;

		}

Hi

In that case you need to use a ternary operation instead:

DataSource1.ClaimType == 5?"MyText1":
DataSource1.ClaimType == 6?"MyText2":"value for default"

Also that expression must be set when ReadOnly and Function checkboxes are checked in the variable editor form.

And another approach is to use custom function from the CodeTab. Please see attached report which illustrates this.

Thank you.
