Some variables not being set per assign statement

[sailjazzin]

$clipboard$ variable seems to be working fine. User defined variables, however, seem to somehow avoid being set in the assignment statement.

Is this a known bug-a-boo, or am I doing something totally wrong (would only be the 30th time today that has happened!)

See attached (with some stops put in just for debugging).

Potentially totally unrelated, I noticed some interaction while running the program with my Logitech G15 keyboard (the Num Lock toggled on/off while running the .atmn). Did not know if there was some inter-play with the Logitech programming of key-board hot keys and AA? Then too, it's almost a full moon!

Hello,

We looked into task that you have attached. What we understand is, you want to use the value variable, $File_Name$ in task that you are calling subsequently using Run Task command. Am I right?

In that case, unfortunately, you cannot directly use value of $File_Name$ in another task. Either you can put Variable operation command that assigns value to $File_Name$ in respective task that you call using Run Task command or in main task assign value of $File_Name$ to $Clipboard$ and in sub task assign value of $Clipboard$ to $File_Name$.

Regarding NumLock toggled On/Off, when you record the task, recorder also records the status of NumLock so on replay task will reset the NumLock status as per recording.

Hope that helps.

you may find it useful to pass values via file logging.
log the value in one task

then have the variable assigned read it in the next task

Thank you both for your words of wisdom!
