Hi Nick,



here is a script expression that will give you the value from your XML sample:



var theCopynumber = job.getVariableAsString('[Metadata.Text:Path="/data/copynumber",Dataset="Xml",Model=XML]')





In this example you'll get the valua as string, you can also use getVariableAsNumber, getVariableAsBoolean or getVariableAsDate, depending on your needs.



Hope this helps?

Thanks much! it works.



but i found i get a wrong value perhaps. i am trying to check it with 'alert' function. but it seems it is not supported. how can i check the procedure variables like debug.print?



Thanks again



Nick

You can ceck the variable value:



job.log(1, 'value=' + myvariable)
