Example

In the following example, the custom export instructions “script” and “setVarQst” are used in conjunction with the script “scriptSampleVarQst”. For this example we assume that we have a form with type ‘simpleForm’ that contains a question with alias or type ‘simpleA’.

Form Type IdQuestion IdInstructionValueColumn NumberColumn TitleData Type
simpleFormsimpleA
$>		setVarQst
$>script		qstVar
$>scriptSampleVarQst		2COL2String


<script scriptId="scriptSampleVarQst" >
        <body>
                   <s:if>
                        <s:isSet>
                            <s:question>
                                  <s:varQst name="qstVar" />
                            </s:question>
                        </s:isSet>
                        <s:string value="Question is set" />
                        <s:string value="Question is not set" />
                   </s:if>
        </body>
</script>

The output of the script “scriptSampleVarQst” is either “Question is set” or “Question is not set” depending on whether or not question simpleA is set on form simpleForm.
