Ework.WriteText Fails with Four Parameters

Metastorm

The information in this article applies to:

Product: Metastorm BPM
Version: 7.x

Issue

• When the Integration Wizard is used to build a formula with the function WriteText, the user is given the option of saving the returned string as Unicode. However, if this fourth parameter is used when calling the function in a JScript.NET script, the call fails.

• The following list shows the results of the call, depending on how the call is made and the number of parameters:

  Success:

  %WriteText("Hello World","C:\\SampleFile.txt")
  %WriteText("Hello World","C:\\SampleFile.txt",1)
  %WriteText("Hello World","C:\\SampleFile.txt",0,0)
  %WriteText("Hello World","C:\\SampleFile.txt",1,1)
  ework.WriteText("Hello World","C:\\\\SampleFile.txt");
  ework.WriteText("Hello World","C:\\\\SampleFile.txt","1");

  Failure:

  ework.WriteText("Hello World","C:\\\\SampleFile.txt","0", "0");
  ework.WriteText("Hello World","C:\\\\SampleFile.txt","1", "1");

Resolution

• This is a known issue.
