Additional Paths From Get Numbers

[Guest Rhys Daniell]

As you're probably painfully aware by now <g> I'm using VBScript to run a stored procedure and retrieve a result.

 

I'd now like to branch based on a value returned by the stored procedure (there are about 6 values, 1-6).

 

Is there a way of making a value determined in the 'Verify Entered Number' tab available in the 'Paths' tab, and branching based on it?

 

e.g.

Case ReturnValue

of {1} Goto ....

of {2} Goto ...

 

TIA

Bit hard to do this in the same module.

 

Best to set an RV which you can then evaluate in a following "Evaluate Expression" module (branched to using a "Success" path).

I'd prefer to do it in a different module but the doco says I can't use 'global' variables.

 

Can you suggest an RV I can use to pass data between modules?

You can either create an RV within the VBScript you run in the 'Verify Entered Number' tab using:

 

http://www.voiceguide.com/vghelp/html/com_RvSet.htm

http://www.voiceguide.com/vghelp/html/com_...vSet_RvList.htm

 

or just jump directly to the module/script of choice using

 

http://www.voiceguide.com/vghelp/html/com_...Script_Goto.htm

http://www.voiceguide.com/vghelp/html/com_...cript_Gosub.htm

 

the doco says I can't use 'global' variables.

? where does it say that? Can you post the actual quote you are referring to please.

It wasn't the doco, I found this when searching your site for "global variables"

 

It seems it is now old news?

 

"Result Variables are local to the channel on which they are defined.

 

Right now there is no mechanism for defining global system wide variables.

(global RVs will probably be supported very soon however)

Right now you require global variables then you will need to use a database.

 

There are other ways of effectively creating global variables which involves more advanced VB Scripting work (saving info in Registry and/or data files) but just using a database is easiest right now."

 

RvSet seems exactly what I want, thanks.

"Global RVs" are not something you need to use in this case.

 

Global RVs need only be used if many different lines want to be able to read/set a central globally available variable which is retained by VoiceGuide as long as the software is running and does not get reset when any new calls arrive on any lines.

 

The need to use such global RVs is rare.
