Posted on by BS-13080552-0 48
Dear All,
 
I have to read the value dynamically from the Config variable.
 
My Config Variable contains all the values am passing the variable inside the config variable but its giving while runtime.
 
Error Message :- Variable 'vConfig' doesn't have a property '%vPrefix%'
 
Note:- I am getting the value in the %vPrefix% variable which is there in the vConfig variable.
 
Even I tried removing the single quote from the vPrefix variable but still getting the error. 
 
Kindly suggest. what is going wrong here.....again am getting the proper value in bot the variables but in vMaxFetch_Records am getting error. how can i pass the variable inside vConfig (Dictionary) variable. Automation Anywhere is accepting and giving proper value. don't understand what is the issue while reading from power automate.....

    Remove the percentage signs around vPrefix and only have them around the varible. 
     
    If the vPrefix would be column name in Config then: %Config['vPrefix']% (this would need to be data row so inside a loop of dataTable since its not given row position)

    Since you said vPrefix is a variable then without the single quotes: %vConfig[vPrefix]%

    When you have already declared that you are referring variable with %% you shouldn't put another percent signs inside that variable. PAD understands that you mean variable when you don't use quotation marks around the vPrefix
