Switch case statement in a script

[jasleen3]

Hi,

My script is running fine if I am using "if statement", but if i use switch it's not working at all.

I encountered a similar situation. I call the toString() method in my switch-case, however, I had to use " " rather ' ' to get the switch running.

Can you try this one?

var country = current.requested_for.country;
switch(country) {
case "GB" :
//your code here

default :
//your code here
}

Edit: Thanks for the catch John. I didn't intend to put it there.

There is nothing in your switch checking the value of temp. I think you may mean this:

switch(bar.toString()) { // <-- added .toString()   
         case "alpha":   
                   return "a";   
         /* snip */   
         default:   
                   return "unknown '" + bar + "'";   
} 

I did tried this earlier today. No luck.

I have looked at a script include I created and I've called this in a workflow. This worked for me.

this is the function in script include.

 getRequestType : function(serviceType) {
   var reqService = serviceType.toString();
   var serv = '';
   switch(reqService) {
   case "alpha":
   serv = 'a';
   break;
   case "beta":
   serv = 'b';
   break;
   default:
   serv = 'undefined';
   }
   return serv ;
   },

And when I call this in workflow, it works fine.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Thank you for trying all that for me. I really do appreciate it. I'm still pretty confused by this whole thing. Ha.

I could not get my switch to work until I changed my single quotes ' ' to double quotes " ". Interesting ServiceNow limitation, as I am in London, but thank you for pointing this out. Changing my quotes made my switch statement finally work.
