set_Variable method

The set_Variable method sets the value of a referenced variable by using the name of the variable.

Description

.NET restriction: For VBScript, use the Variable instead.

If you set a variable that does not exist in the runtime object, this method automatically creates the variable.

Datacap uses a number of standard variables. For a listing of these variables, see the Standard Variable Reference in this IBM® Knowledge Center.

Syntax

C#

string set_Variable(string lpszName, string pVal)

Arguments

lpszName: The name of the variable, the value of which you want to set.
pVal: The value.

Applies to

All objects.

C# example

The following example assigns the value IBM to the variable Company.

m_oDCO.set_Variable("Company", "IBM")

The method either sets the value if the variable exists, or creates a new variable with the specified value. The following sample XML node shows the resulting variable and the value:

<V n="Company">IBM</V>
