$.udb.genericHostVar()

note

This article is about the genericHostVar() function of the udb object.

$.udb.genericHostVar()

Assigns a value to a generic host variable. A generic host variable is a host variable (a name-value pair) that is needed in multiple actions or events. A host variable that is not generic is automatically cleared after the individual Page Engine call (query or manipulation request).

Returns the 'this' object.

Syntax

.genericHostVar( *name*, *value* )

The required name is the name of the variable. The required value is the value being assigned to it.

Generic host variables and their values are valid and included in every Page Engine call until they are removed with the $.udb.clearGenericHostVars() function, or until you navigate to another page.

Examples

$.udb.genericHostVar("ID","242")

$.udb.genericHostVar("NAME","Jones")
