Capturing Data type name into a perl file

Hi,

Can some one suggest how can i capture datatype name into a perl variable
I tried doing in the following way.
#!D:/Interwoven/TeamSite/iw-perl/bin/iwperl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $cat = "";

$cat = $IW_DCT =~ m/datatype/i ;

if($cat eq "false")

{
print qq[

Language

];
}

else
{
print qq[

Language

];
}
and I am giving this ipl in inlinecommad of the DCT
But it gave me a error Global Symbol $iw_dct rewuires a explicit package at y:/default/main/safari/templatedata/scripts/valid.ipl and Execution of y:/default/main/safari/templatedata/scripts/valid.ipl due to compilation errors.

Can someone What package should i use?

Try using regex to extract the datatype from DCT/DCR path.

The code above makes no sense for at least the following reasons:

Hi,

Thanks for the responses...The ipl file is not called on save event..I have a requirement

that the DCT should display a callout item if it is called from a particaular category MCLA

and if it is called from the category called News it should display different set of

items..I tried to extract the category name from IW_DCT variable.I am attaching my ipl

script and the DCT..Can someone suggest where am I going wrong?

I have refered to the inline callout section in FORMAPI Guide which says

The exit status from a server-side inline callout should be 0 to indicate a successful

execution. Normally an inline callout should not return a non-zero value. However, an

example where a non-zero value may be needed to indicate an error condition is if you are

populating a select menu by making a database query and the database is offline. Rather

than displaying a form with no choices, you may prefer an exception be displayed.
Here,
1.The select menu is not populated from databases But How can check the exit status in my

code.. and also How can I check whether $Category in the ipl script has the value of The

server-inclusive vpath to the datacapture.cfg..
Everytime I modify the script and check the items in the DCT...Is that the way that I check

or debug my ipl...Upload the script and open the DCT...

Can some one give an idea of how the above work?

Thanks in Advance..

You clearly are missing some skills here.

Alternatively - hire someone who knows how to write Perl code.
