Modified Java Script Value

In this document we will see how to use “Modified Java Script Value” step to apply business logic in workflows.
This use case covers two examples as below:

1. Calculating Age using Date function of Java Script

2. Using String functions like: replace(), lower() and display the output using Alert() function.

Scenario of Calculating age using Date function of Java Script


We would be reading employee data from Data Grid step and calculate age from Date of birth. Then save it in
an excel file.

Building workflow
1. In process studio, create a new workflow and save it as shown in below images:

2. Now we need to create employee data using “Data Grid” step. Drag & drop it in workspace area, double click
on this step to edit its properties as shown in the Tab-wise images below:

Meta tab:
 In Name column, enter fields name
 In Type column, select data-type of the field.
 In Format column, select format from drop-down if any, e.g.: DOB field is in “yyyy-MM-dd” format.

Click on Preview button to ensure about the data and format of the same.

Click on Close >> OK to complete the configuration.

3. Next we need to calculate the age of all employees from DOB column. For this, drag & drop “Modified Java
Script Value” step from left pane. Connect it with the previous step “Data Grid_EmployeeDetails”.
Double-click on “Modified Java Script Value” step to write the script as shown in below images:

In left section “Java script functions:” >> Expand “Transform Functions” >> “Date Functions” and double-click
on dateDiff(var,var,var) function. It will automatically reflect in script or you can type as well.

Now mention the parameters in “dateDiff()” function as explained below:
 Parameter1: “DOB” is the Input field coming from “Data Grid_EmployeeDetails” step.
 Parameter2: “CurrentDate” is the local variable created in script itself saving current date with the help of
“Date()” class.
 Parameter3: Write “y” to calculate the age in years.

Now click on “Get variables” button, so that the variables which we have created in the Java script are added
to the “Fields” section and they are available in workflow stream for further steps.

properties as shown in below images:

File & Sheet Tab:

3. Next we need to replace “WORLD” with “FOLKS” and “FUNCTION” with “PROGRAMME” and convert
text form uppercase to lowercase. For this, drag & drop “Modified Java Script Value” step from left
pane. Connect it with the previous step “Data Grid_StringInput”. Double-click on “Modified Java
Script Value” step to write the script as shown in below images:

In left section “Java script functions:” >> Expand “Transform Functions” >> “String Functions” and double-
click on replace(var,var,var) and lower(var) functions accordingly. It will automatically reflect in script or you
can type also.

Now mention the parameters in “replace()” function as explained below:


 Parameter1: “Message” is the Input field coming from “Data Grid_StringInput” step.
 Parameter2: “WORLD” a text needs to be found.
 Parameter3: “FOLKS” a text needs to be replace with.

Note: you can mention n number of pairs for find-n-replace text. Like, we are using two pairs.

There is only one parameter in “lower()” function as “str1” (a string needs to be converted)
