Passing strings to scripts

Ignition

I'm using a script to execute a named query. One of the parameters to the named query is a string. I've tested the named query and it works fine. But when I execute from a script, one of the fields does NOT get populated, but is left NULL.

I am guessing my syntax is not right when I'm building the parameter list, because the field that is NOT being populated happens to be the only "string" parameter ... but I couldn't find any reason why it would not get passed in properly to the runnamedquery method.

hrbyhrKey = 36
losttime = 15
freeform = "freeform text 55"
lossKey = 14
workcellKey = 15

paramlist = {"FreeForm":freeform,"HrByHrKey":hrbyhrKey,"LossKey":lossKey,"LostTime_Mins":losttime,"WorkcellGroupMemberKey":workcellKey}
results = system.db.runNamedQuery(path=namedquerypathvalue, parameters=paramlist, getkey=1)

print results

Are you sure your parameter names match your query definition exactly, including case?

Tips:

  • Don't post code as a quotation ". Post it as preformatted text </>. Please see Wiki - how to post code on this forum.
  • Add a space after every punctuation (, and :) as you would in written English, and both sides of =. This will help when text needs to wrap and improve general legibility.
hrbyhrKey = 36
losttime = 15
freeform = "freeform text 55"
lossKey = 14
workcellKey = 15

paramlist = {"FreeForm": freeform, 
  "HrByHrKey": hrbyhrKey, 
  "LossKey": lossKey, 
  "LostTime_Mins": losttime, 
  "WorkcellGroupMemberKey": workcellKey
}
results = system.db.runNamedQuery(path = namedquerypathvalue, 
 parameters = paramlist, getkey = 1)

print results

I sure did think I had checked all that ... but ... I missed one ... FreeForm, Freeform ... so that was the reason, NOT because it was a string. Thanks for the help.
