The Value From a Set macro is used to insert arbitrary values into the strings generated by a data source using the Custom String data generator. To specify values that will be used to generate data, you can either specify a list of items manually or load it from a text file.
The macro is an analog of the Value from a Set data generator.
Syntax
The macro has the following syntax:
%SET(Value1, Value2, Value3, ..., LastValue, GenerationMode)
Parameters
Value1, Value2, Value3, ..., LastValue
The values to be included in the resulting list.
GenerationMode
Specifies the generation mode.
-
True– In this case, ReadyAPI uses a sequential generation mode and generates a sequence of values in the same order in which they are specified in the macro parameters or in the file. -
False– Default. In this case, ReadyAPI uses a random generation mode and places the specified values in the resulting collection in a random order.
 |
The parameter is case-insensitive. |
Examples
The following examples demonstrate how to use the Value From a Set macro:
-
%SET(John Smith, Kate Robson, Susan O'Neil, false)

Generates a string containing a random name –
John Smith,Kate RobsonorSusan O'Neil. ReadyAPI uses commas as delimiters. If a value includes spaces, there is no need to enclose this value in quotes. -
%SET(Plum, Pear, Pineapple, true)
Generates a sequence of fruit names.
