Instruction appendVar
Overview
Appends the content of a (cell) variable (typically defined with setVar) to either a question value or an input value.
Question Id
You can specify a question path here when you want to append the variable content to the question value.
Value
Needs to be the name of a (cell) variable.
Input value
This is used as the input, when no question (path) is specified.
Examples
The following example takes the site ID found on a form in the casebook, assigns it to a variable and then outputs the string ‘Site: ‘ before appending the site ID to it to create a very readable string value. You can also append variables to variables or other data from the casebook if necessary.
| Form Type Id | Question Id | Instruction | Value | Column Number | Column Title | Data Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #sc.siteid $> $> $> | qst $>setVar $>const $>appendVar | $>sid $>’Site: ‘ $>sid | 7 | SITENAME | String |
