Hello,

I have a Lawson resource query node the queries the employee on the service TEST_EMPLOYEE with this code and it works.

]]>

I want to change it so that the serviceName is a variable so the flow can move easily between the test and prod systems.  In the production system, the service is called PROD_EMPLOYEE.  I created a variable called EmpService to hold either TEST_EMPLOYEE or PROD_EMPLOYEE.  When I tried to do a variable substation in the node such as:

serviceName = "", I get the message that serviceName can not contain "<" which I think means it is not performing the variable substitution I expected.  I tried variable on setting serviceName but I can't get it to work.  Any suggestions?

Regards,

Patricia

Hi Patricia - it looks like the code portion of your post was stripped by the site, so we can't see what you're really trying to do. Could you maybe attach a screenshot instead?

Patricia, the only way I have been able to use a variable for a service name is to edit the .LPD (v10/IPA) or .XML (v9/PF) file and changing the service name to the variable. Works fine, just a pain.
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

I attached an image of the code in the Resource Query Node, followed by what I want to do, which is use a variable in the serviceName="".

John, I tried updating the lpd but I still got the same error.
