The syntax is of the Lookup function is:
Lookup(Group_Name, Key_To_Retrieve, Key_To_Match, 'Value_To_Match')
Note
Value_To_Matchcan be a static string, a jobInfo or a variable, but not a data selection.
For the Value_To_Match parameter, the single-quotes surrounding the value are
mandatory even if the value is dynamic.
This function may also be used anywhere else where the contextual menu gives access to it.
You could, for example, use it on the General tab of the Create File task, to fill in the value of a
key/value pair in a JSON string.
Tip
The Data Repository Manager displays, at the bottom left, the syntax used for accessing a specific
value.
Note
Lookup()returns NODATA when the group and/or key does not exist.
In previous versions of the software, trying to do a look-up in a non-existent group and/or key
would cause an error. This change in behavior may affect any Workflow configuration that uses an
on error process related to invalid groups/keys.
