Thanks for the response!

I already tried just a concat of the variables but of course I got extra spaces 
if I didn't have a middle initial. I also strangely got a / at the end if I 
didn't have a suffix. So that's why I was investigating using a function call 
to clean that up.

I will investigate the portion of the lib code you provided.

Hi,

sorry not being more involved in the discussions on the ML.. it is a very
intense period for me.. :D But I am always here to help..

Coming to the problem..

The code that performs the evaluation of the EXEC:: is located in the
lib/request-utils.lib at line 169 - you are trying to execute
code passing parameters that are really variables.. this is not supported
in the EXEC code..you may need to modify the eval expression there...

Have you tried to pass the $VAR_NAME directly instead of using a function
to concatenate the values ? I am not sure it would work.. but something
like:
...
<value>$ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_FIRSTNAME $ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_MIDDLEINITIAL \
$ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_LASTNAME,$ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_SUFFIX</value>
...

I do not know if those values are actually exported as variables...

For this to work, you might need to change the code (lines 186-192) to
something like:

} else {
        my $newVal = undef;
        my $origVal = undef;

        $origVal = $tmpVal;
        foreach my $l ( $origVal =~ /\$([^\s]+)/g ) {
                $newVal = $query->param("$l");
                if( $newVal eq "" ) {
                        $newVal = (eval $$l);
                }

                $value[$t] =~ s/(\$$l)/$newVal/;
        }
}

Let me know if this works... :D

Ciao,
Max

Hi Max,

Not sure how much you look at the openca mailing lists (especially the
user one) but I have a question about how the EXEC calls work in
browser_req.xml. I would like to call a custom function I wrote and pass
some parameters to it but it doesn't seem to like paramters being
passed. Really appreciate any feedback...
