iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,

iimSet Syntax?

Post by viking » Mon Jan 29, 2018 12:27 am

I must be getting old.... :shock:
What is wrong with this trivial JavaScript for Firefox:

Code: Select all

var x = 1;
var y = 99;
iimSet("y", x);
alert(x);
alert(y);
y is not set to 1 by iimSet() - it is still = 99.

Firefox v52.3
iMacros v8.9.7

Nice to see you (back) on the Forum... :wink:

But yep, normal, nearly funny actually, oops...! :wink:
'iimSet()' is for setting Values to Vars for inside your "next" on-the-fly '.iim' Macro...
=> a "PROMPT {{y}}" in that '.iim' Macro will then display your expected "1"... :idea:
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...

Yes, of course :oops: .
Thanks for reminding me!
I haven't written a java-script for quite some time. My memory isn't what it used to be... :(

Oh well..., I've actually never written any single '.js' Script myself as I only use '.iim' Scripts, ah-ah...! :shock:

Good "luck" with your current/next Script and dare to "shout" again if you encounter any further "memory loss", ah-ah...! :wink:

Macro += "PROMPT NEW<sp>y<sp>{{Y}}" + "\n";

iimSet("y", x);
iimPlay(Macro );
