The State macro is used to insert US state names into the strings generated by a data source using the Custom String data generator.
The macro is an analog of the State data generator.
Syntax
The macro has the following syntax:
%STATE(Format)
Parameters
Format
Specifies the format of state names to be generated:
-
FULL– Default. The macro generates full state names – for example,Florida,Texas, and so on. -
Abbreviated– The macro generates abbreviated state names – for example,FL,TX, and so on.
 |
The values are case-insensitive. |
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the State macro:
-
State: %STATE(FULL)

Generates a string containing a full state name.
-
%STATE(Abbreviated)
Generates abbreviated state names.
-
%STATE <- Invalid value
The macro requires the parameter, so ReadyAPI will not parse the custom string.
-
%STATE(COUNTY) <— Invalid value
The parameter is specified incorrectly, so ReadyAPI will not parse the custom string.
