Problem with Calculate Value (ModelBuilder)

HaniDraidi — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 11:27:51 GMT

I am using calculate value tool which is a �??model only tool�?�, the input is a string and the output is an Encrypted string. When the input is an integer like �??123�?� it works fine, but when the input contains letters like �??mmm�?� or �??a123a�?�, an error appears. How to make it work with letters? This is illustrated below by screenshots.

Hello Hani,

It's kind of stupid, but you have to include quotes if your specifying a string (even in the string tool). Try using "mmm" (with quotes).

Also, your question was great! Very well explained.
