Dataset variable data types map to JavaScript value types.
The different data types for variables are as follows:
Stores and returns True or False.
In expressions, this type maps to the JavaScript Boolean data type.
References any type of object available in CA Process Automation, including objects available in an automation library, touchpoint, and touchpoint groups.
Stores and returns a date in a date format specified in the parameter properties.
In expressions, this type maps to the JavaScript date object.
Stores and returns a decimal value. Double values are entered in the following format:
[digits][.digits][(E|e)[(+|-)]digits]
In expressions, this type maps to JavaScript floating-point literal type. The literal has a minimum value of -1.7976931348623157E308 and a maximum value of 1.7976931348623157E308.
Stores and returns a 16-bit integer value. An integer field can return a single integer or an indexed list of integers. The integer allows you to represent all integers to ten digits from -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647.
In expressions, this value type maps to the JavaScript integer type.
Stores a Java object.
Stores and returns a 32-bit integer. The long data type allows you to represent all integers to 19 digits from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to +9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
In expressions, this value type maps to the JavaScript integer type.
Returns a password in encrypted format. Password-field values can only be assigned to other password fields. Unauthorized users are prevented from viewing passwords in an unencrypted format.
Note: CA Process Automation protects passwords from any modification. Operations such as concatenation and string manipulation on the passwords results in a null value.
Returns a string of characters. A string field can return a single string or an indexed list of strings.
In expressions, this value type maps to the JavaScript string type.
Defines a dataset structure that is stored within another dataset. You can add pages and variables to a ValueMap field. ValueMap variables and pages can be nested one inside of another.
In calculated fields, ValueMap type fields are addressed hierarchically within a dataset path. The following example addresses the parameter param1 in ValueMap field VMap2, which is in turn nested in ValueMap field VMap1, which in turn is a member of the dataset MyDataset.
Process.MyDataset.VMap1.VMap2.param1
Important! Changing the data type or changing the Array check box option eliminates any existing data in the field. Edit the dataset only if it is acceptable to discard any current values in the field.
