String variable handling

Postby paues » Tue Nov 20, 2012 8:51 am

It would be nice if string functions would be parsed as string variables when they are used in expressions. Code snippet 1 (which works) could then be written more simply as code snippet 2 (which doesn't).

Code snippet 1

Code: Select all

%list="a q m"
%part=@word(%list,1)
wfcreate {%part} 2010 2015


Code snippet 2

Code: Select all

%list="a q m"
wfcreate {@word(%list,1)} 2010 2015
