-====== Variable Management in TAST ====== 
- 
- 
- 
-This is the information about how to use and manage the variables in TAST. 
- 
-===== Validations in Frontend of the data types: ===== 
- 
-The web application should prevent situations like this: 
- 
-{{:​en:​uno.png?​400|}} 
- 
- 
-Or situations like this one: 
- 
- 
-{{:​en:​dos.jpg?​600|}} 
- 
-{{:​en:​tres.jpg?​600|}} 
- 
-The validation in Frontend will be done by javascript. It would be a good option to leave the numeric keys only active in the case of integer value. 
- 
-==== Using more than one data type for the same variable ==== 
- 
-Can another type of data be assigned to the same variable? ​ Yes, there is no need or impediment to be rigid. 
- 
-==== Using colors in messages that declare variables ==== 
- 
-In this way, the user could at a simple glance understand that the variable he has used is not the same type of data as the variable he is declaring. 
- 
-==== Introduction of specific controls associated with variables ==== 
- 
-   *In a setVariable,​ depending on the type of data selected, show: 
-   ​*TastDataBoolean:​ checkbox. 
-   ​*TastDataInteger:​ text input that allows you to enter only numbers (without a comma, no points) or Integer variables. 
-   ​*TastDataString:​ n.a 
-   ​*TastDataDouble:​ text input that allows to enter only numbers or variables of type Integer or Double. 
-   ​*TastDataDate:​ text input with calendar. It allows to enter variables of type TastDataDate. You must validate the date before saving. 
-===== Validations in Backend ===== 
- 
-Text.

-==== List of Casting allowed / not allowed in TAST ==== 
- 
-^From/To ^String^Boolean^Integer^Double^Date^ Table^ ​ 
-|String|Don'​t Apply|Assigns a Boolean object that represents the true value if the String is not null and is equal, ignoring case, to the "​true"​ string.| Returns Integer if String is a number. If it is a number like 100.00, everything that comes behind the point is deleted. If it is not number it throws exception.|Returns Double if String is a number. If it is not a number, it throws an exception.|Returns Date if String is date. If it is not a date, or does not find the format, it throws an exception.|Returns a table with a column, and a row with the string.If the string is separated by comma, or semicolon, we create as many columns as commas.| 
-|Boolean|Returns what the getStringValue () function returns;​|Don’t Apply|Returns 1 if it is true and 0 if it is false|Returns 1.00 if true, and 0.00 If it is false|Exception. Not allowed.|Returns a table with a column, and a row with the boolean| 
-|Integer|Returns what the getStringValue () function returns;​|Returns true if it is a number greater than 0, and false if it is null or 0|Don’t Apply|Returns the integer with .00|Exception. Not allowed.|Returns a table with a column, and a row with the Integer| 
-|Double|Returns what the getStringValue () function returns;​|Returns true if it is a number greater than 0, and false if it is null or 0|Returns an Integer (e.g. 5.25 -> 5)|Don’t Apply|Exception. Not allowed.|Returns a table with a column, and a row with the Double| 
-|Date|Returns what the getStringValue () function returns;​|Exception. Not allowed.|Exception. Not allowed.|Exception. Not allowed.|Don’t Apply|Returns a table with a column, and a row with the Date| 
-|Table\\ (see the following chapter “Additional information about Variables in TAST”)|Returns what the getStringValue () function returns;​|Exception. Not allowed.|Exception. Not allowed.|Exception. Not allowed.|Exception. Not allowed.|Don’t Apply|\\ ​

-===== Additional information about Variables in TAST ===== 
- 
-You should consider this information:​ In the application there are new data types that are not displayed in the frontend, but internally are being used by TAST. They will be available soon as a part of the new adaptors we are currently building: 
- 
-   ​*TastRowTableData. 
-   ​*TastIterateTableData. 
-   ​*TastTableCell. 
-   ​*Variant. 
-   ​*Collection. 
-   ​*Lists. 
- 
-In setVariable,​ there are data types that cannot be entered for the moment: 
- 
-   ​*TastRowValues. 
-   ​*TastHttpResponse. 
-   ​*TastHtmlTable. 
-   ​*TastTableData. 
-   ​*Variant. 
-   ​*Collection. 
-   ​*Lists. 
- 
-To work with the TastRowValues and TastTableData data types, it is recommended to use executeJavascript using the following functions: 
- 
-  * **addCellValue(String value):** adds a String to the list. 
-  * **addCellValue(TastDataGeneric dataGeneric):​** adds an element to the list. 
-  * **getCellValue(index):​** returns the contents of a cell (starting at 1). 
-  * **getLength():​** returns the element number of the list. 
-  * **getStringValue():​** returns the contents of the list in a String.\\ ​ 
- 
- 
-===== Confirmation when you are deleting messages and variables ===== 
- 
-When you delete a message, an another UML item or a variable, is appears a confirmation message before the deletion. 
- 
-In the case of the variables, TAST asks not only for the variables but also for the references to them.
