INSERT(&myFunction(%fullpath))

ENV TS552SP2B Solaris:

I'd like to know if it's possible to expand a workflow macro name, e.g. %fullpath or %path within an INSERT tag. I'd ideally like to do the following,
<eastartop op="set" name="TeamSite/Templating/DCR/Type" value="__INSERT__(&myFunction(%fullpath));"/>
but it doesn't work?
I want to pass the fullpath to a function and return the correct information for setting the extended attribute.
Anyone have an answer on this query?

cheers,

Arnouxe

Maybe I'm missing something here - but don't things like __VALUE__('iw_workarea'); or __TAG__('iw_workarea'); -- depending on context -- provide you with the full areavpath to the area in which you are working, and any pre-selected files (or added files) can be retrieved and the paths stripped off them to find a directory path within the area?

I.e. I'm not sure you need a myFunction() and I'm not sure where '%fullpath' and '%path' are coming from.

Can you provide more context and perhaps the code [or a simplified version of it] that you are trying to get to work? Perhaps someone here might be able to look at it from a different perspective and see a solution for you?

See documentation for <eastartop> and <eafinishop>, e.g. pages 181-182 of the TeamSite 5.5.2 Workflow Developer's Guide for Windows.

The code is referencing runtime workflow engine variables in the WFT, which obviously won't work.

Ah - thanks James - I didn't pickup on the <ea...op> piece.

Well - in that case - most of what I said before still holds, I think. Create a variable (perhaps from the return value of a subroutine) that takes the information from the areavpath and the file path(s) - adjusted as desired, and use that variable in the __INSERT__(); statement - yes?
