AutoSys Workload Automation

Hello,

I have an espresso application that reads a file and creates as output four variables (concept, corpcode, server, tz).

I now have a requirement to create another variable named "clientname" based on the first 8 characters of the value in the "Server" variable. 

I'm thinking I can easily do this with the slice method similar to what I highlighted in blue below. Does anyone know if this will work? Or have a suggestion on how I can do this?

Below is a one line sample of the data file (there are thousands of lines). Also below is the working javascript with the proposed slice method solution added (in blue).

Sample Input data: Server=nnnnnnnSR01; Concept=nn; Corpcode=nnn; TZ=EASTERN

Espresso

var RIDFILE = APPL._filename;
var RID=new java.util.Properties();
RID.load(new java.io.FileInputStream(RIDFILE));
   APPL.CONCEPT=RID.getProperty('Concept') + '';
   APPL.CORPCODE=RID.getProperty('Corpcode') + '';
   APPL.RESTSERVER=RID.getProperty('Server') + '';
   APPL.clientname=RID.slice(7,8);
   APPL.TZ=RID.getProperty('TZ') + '';

As always any input is greatly appreciated.

I used a substring of APPL.RESTSERVER to get the result I was looking for.

APPL.CLIENTNAME = APPL.RESTSERVER.substr(0,8);
