Condition step not working in Workflow

[Sue Doughty]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

I am not using a result parameter even though I tried that when it did
not work the way I had it at first.  Neither way works.  I can see in
the workflow log that my export parameter (ImageFound) is being
populated with the correct 'T' or 'F' value, but the Results processing
step is not being executed with an F value - it only executes when the
export parameter contains a 'T' value.

I can't use a virtual attribute because the input parameters to the
method change with each call to the method (i.e., doctype and
imagedate).

Hi Sue,
Are you using a standard return parameter or a result parameter?
("Result
parameter" checkbox on your method properties).
Result parameters behave differently, T/F must be defined within the
data
dictionary and become separate outcomes of the method.
Also, perhaps a virtual attribute might be easier if this is all that
the
method does...

Cheers,
Mike
