Issue/Introduction
Error Message :
U01001350 Variable 'TEST' not found
In V10 the following script worked:
If you execute the same script in V11 or V12, the above error message is displayed.
:set &TEST# = "Hallo"
:print &&TEST# = &TEST#
:set &VAR_TEST# = get_script_var("TEST#")
:print &&VAR_TEST# = &VAR_TEST#
Add the hashtag to complete the full name of the variable. After upgrading to V11 or V12 from V10 all scripts using get_script_var with an incomplete name display will generate the abvove error message.
U01001350 Variable 'TEST' not found
In V10 the following script worked:
:set &TEST# = "Hallo"
:print &&TEST# = &TEST#
:set &VAR_TEST# = get_script_var("TEST")
:print &&VAR_TEST# = &VAR_TEST#
:print &&TEST# = &TEST#
:set &VAR_TEST# = get_script_var("TEST")
:print &&VAR_TEST# = &VAR_TEST#
The result is, as expected:
2017-03-24 08:09:15 - U0020408 &TEST# = Hallo
2017-03-24 08:09:15 - U0020408 &VAR_TEST# = Hallo
2017-03-24 08:09:15 - U0020408 &VAR_TEST# = Hallo
If you execute the same script in V11 or V12, the above error message is displayed.
In V11 and V12, get_script_var does not find the variable when the hashtag at the end is missing (upper example script). The name of the variable is TEST#, not TEST. In V10 get_script_var worked though the hashtag is missing. This was a bug as the hashtag should have been required. To make it work in V11 or V12, a single character must be changed as follows:
:set &TEST# = "Hallo"
:print &&TEST# = &TEST#
:set &VAR_TEST# = get_script_var("TEST#")
:print &&VAR_TEST# = &VAR_TEST#
Add the hashtag to complete the full name of the variable. After upgrading to V11 or V12 from V10 all scripts using get_script_var with an incomplete name display will generate the abvove error message.
