Example 3: Setting a Character Variable According to the Result of a Calculation

var result;
  
// Get variable value from template
var percent = reporter.currentTemplate.GetVariableValue("PERCENT");
  
// Check that the variable exist
if (percent == null) throw Error("no PERCENT variable\n");
  
// Extract number from variable
var p = parseFloat(percent);
  
// Check that the variable is a valid number
if (isNaN(p)) throw Error("PERCENT " + percent + " is not a valid number\n");
  
// Check for less than 5
if (Math.abs(p) < 5.0)
    result = "OK";
else
    result = "not OK";
  
// Create new variable RESULT
var rvar = new Variable(reporter.currentTemplate, "RESULT",
                        "is it OK?", result);
