The Set numbersToCall Step

Continue to build the broadcast.aef script by dragging the Set step from the General palette to the Design pane. Use the Set step to create a vector with the expression “new java.util.Vector()” and set that expression equal to the variable numbersToCall.

This step creates a vector to hold the phone numbers the script will use to place the outbound calls. This step does not access the database and the variable does not have value yet.

Figure shows the configured General tab of the Set customizer window.

Set numbersToCall=java.util.Vector()
Configure the General tab of the Set customizer window as follows:

  • Variable Name—numbersToCall

    The numbersToCall variable stores all the numbers to call.

    (A call to a subflow populates this variable.)

  • Value—java.util.Vector()

    The java.util.Vector() expression stores the list of numbers to call.

Note

A vector is a collection class compatible with both Sun SDK Java 1.4.2. It represents a dynamic array of objects.
