Eval VS GlideEvaluator.evaluateString

[lucasita]

Hi,

I have a function that iteratively create string commands like ad.u_namefiled1='string1'; to be evaluated by eval .

These  instructions  refers to a glide record variable ad = new GlideRecord('u_my_table');

I know eval should not be used but replaced by GlideEvaluator.evaluateString .

The problem is that eval is working but GlideEvaluator.evaluateString! I tried to find more detailed documentation about the use of GlideEvaluator.evaluateString but I couldn't find anything useful.

Hi Luca,

Can you share the script with us? I've done a lab on using GlideEvaluator.evaluateString().

Also note if this is being used in a global or scoped app.
