Switch statement

[Chuck Tomasi]

FWIW, I was looking for info to see if I could use a switch statement in a transform script rather than a bunch of if/else. I found no examples in the forums or wiki so I gave it a try. It worked! Here's my solution to take a single character from our HR database on a pay code (S, H, or E) and populate our own field with words.

switch (source.u_paycode.toString()) {
  case 'S': target.u_paycode = "Salaried Exempt"; break;
  case 'E': target.u_paycode = "Salaried Non-Exempt"; break;
  case 'H': target.u_paycode = "Hourly"; break;
  default:  target.u_paycode = "Hourly";
}

Switch statements are an elegant solution. These work just as expected in JavaScript.

HA HA! That's a good one Phillip. Glad you got it figured out.
