Type conversion of variable in Workflow

Legacy Contributor

Hi, Is there any way to make a type conversion of a variable used in a workflow? I'm currently using an ION API call against M3 and the infomration I get back is a numerical value but returned as a String. 

To be more specific I'm trying to write a log entry and I need to incremet the last line number by one. 

Is this possible inside a workflow?

Hi,



I have a workflow that runs PPS200MI/GetHead and puts the output field NTAM into a decimal variable... although API output is String you can assign it to a DECIMAL variable.



Unfortunately, Set Parameter doesn't allow type conversion - but you probably can do it in an Exit Point.
