	Getting Call Session Variable Values

To get call session variables programmatically, the methodology is a little different depending on the type of variable: a simple or complex variable.

See the following sections:

Getting Simple Variables

Getting Complex Variables

Refer to the Dialog Designer Programmers Guide in the online help for the full set of API for accessing variables and their values.

Getting Simple Variables

The following code will get the value of the simple variable "weather" as a Java String object.

Note:

This code assumes that a simple variable "weather" has been defined in the project Variable Editor. See About IProjectVariables.

IVariable variableRef = mySession.getVariable(IProjectVariables.WEATHER);

IVariableField variable = variableRef.getSimpleVariable();

String weather = variable.getStringValue();

A short-hand way of writing the same code is:

IVariableField variable = mySession.getVariableField(IProjectVariables.WEATHER);

String weather = variable.getStringValue();

Getting Complex Variables

The following code will get the value of the complex variable field "date:year" as an integer.

IVariable variableRef = mySession.getVariable(IProjectVariables.DATE);

IComplexVariable complexVariable = variableRef.getComplexVariable();

IVariableField field = complexVariable.getField(IProjectVariables.DATE_FIELD_YEAR);

int year = field.getIntValue();

A short-hand way of writing the same code is:

IVariableField field = mySession.getVariableField(IProjectVariables.DATE, IProjectVariables.DATE_FIELD_YEAR);

int year = field.getIntValue();
