I am using WMB 61 and toolkit csd 5.
I want to define a dynamic reference based on a condition
If I do
DECLARE ZZ REFERENCE TO InputRoot.XMLNS.MY_MSG.DATA.CUSTOMER;
DECLARE ADD CHAR;
SET ADD = ZZ.ADDRESS;
it works.
But if I do
DECLARE COND INT;
IF COND = 1 THEN
DECLARE ZZ REFERENCE TO InputRoot.XMLNS.MY_MSG.DATA.CUSTOMER;
ELSE
DECLARE ZZ REFERENCE TO InputRoot.XMLNS.MY_MSG.DATA1.CUSTOMER;
END IF ;
DECLARE ADD CHAR;
SET ADD = ZZ.ADDRESS;
I'll get a warning saying "Identifier "ZZ" cannot be resolved" and the deployment will fail.
Is this a bug? |

No. If declared inside the IF statement, it's out of scope outside it. DECLARE it outside & MOVE it according to the condition.

No, this is not a bug.
It's simple scoping.
IF/END IF is a block. Anything defined inside that is not visible outside the block.
| Code: |
--oh look I used code tags
DECLARE ZZ REFERENCE TO InputRoot.XMLNS.MY_MSG;
DECLARE COND INT;
if COND =1 THEN
MOVE ZZ to InputRoot.XMLNS.MY_MSG.DATA.CUSTOMER;
ELSE
MOVE ZZ to InputRoot.XMLNS.MY_MSG.DATA1.CUSTOMER;
END IF;
DECLARE ADD CHAR;
if LASTMOVE() THEN
SET ADD = ZZ.ADDRESS;
ELSE
SET ADD = "SOMETHING WENT WRONG";
END IF; |

adding to Vitor's point, add it outside, as you are trying to access it outside the if-else loop or assign the value to add inside the loop itself.
