Workflow string concatenation

Userlevel 7

+21

I know that the following will assign 210 to the variable CompanyId (in a script task):

execution.setVariable('CompanyId','210');

What if I want to prepare a KeyRef for this that would contain in the end: 'CompanyId=210^’

I'm looking for something like concatenate. I've tried:

execution.setVariable('KeyRef’,'CompanyId=' + '210' + '^’);

Ultimately I want something like:

execution.setVariable('KeyRef’,'CompanyId=' + ${CompanyId} + '^’);

In this case ${CompanyId} is a variable set in an earlier step of the workflow.

So, my question is how to perform a concatenation in a system task?

Solutions are sometimes to be found in the strangest places.

I used a system task to perform the concatenation:

In the previous solution I prepared a variable that contains the KeyRef. This KeyRef could then be used in a projection Read option.

I've noticed the following shortcut also works:

Noticed in the documentation another method to do a concatenation:
