Convert a string to use in keepresource command


2018-05-15-9-36-06.png

In the attached file, I have identified as a string the name of a receptionist I want to use in a keepresource command. How do I do this?

Thanks,

Tee

keepresource() wants to see an Node reference as it's first parameter so you just need to turn the name into an Node by using the node() command and use that as the first parameter:

keepresource(node(RepName, model()), patient);

You could also use the executestring command since there's a global variable with the same name as every resource:

keepresource(executestring(RepName), patient);
