I am using jmeter to test ldap.
As part of my test, I want to search for a random uid on each iteration. I did not find a straight forward answer to this. So my idea was to first select a random number 1-200 and saving that number as a variable named uid, that number would correspond to a UDV name.
For example
uid = 2 and 2 = A123456
in my udv list. However when trying to reference this variable in my ldap search filter.I am trying to use
(uid=${${uid}})
in hopes to get the value of the value of uid. However the search results just show this as a string.
<searchfilter>(uid=${${uid}})</searchfilter>
Is there another way to achieve what I am looking for?
Use __V function
${__V(${uid})}
The V (variable) function returns the result of evaluating a variable name expression. This can be used to evaluate nested variable references
${__V(A${N})} - works OK. A${N} becomes A1, and the __V function returns the value of A1
Perhaps the easiest would be going for __RandomFromMultipleVars() function?
Another option is using __V() function, it can combine and evaluate JMeter Variables
How can I have different parameters value defined in .ini file for each repeat in omnet using cmdenv? I have repeat value as 4 and trying to have different value of accidentStart and accidentDuration.
You can't. And shouldn't. The whole point of repetition is that all parameters have the same value, just the RNGs are seeded differently. So you get a different sample of the same distribution for every result value.
What you're looking for are iteration variables.
Something like this:
**.accidentStart = ${100, 200, 350}s
This will generate 3 runs without repetition, and 12 runs with repeat=4.
and if you add
**.accidentDuration = ${duration=300, 450, 600..1800 step 600}s
this will multiply the number of runs by another factor of 5.
By default, iteration variables produce a Cartesian product of their respective assigned sets of values. But there are ways to change this, consult the manual for how.
In an IML procedure I have a matrix with named columns.
proc iml;
myMatrix = {1 2 3, 1 4 9};
mattrib myMatrix colname={"a", "b", "c"};
print myMatrix;
print (myMatrix[,"a"]);
/* load module = myModule;*/
/* run myModule(myMatrix);*/
run;
I can easily access and print the columns by name. However, when I pass the matrix to a user defined module, the column names inside the module disappear (to run the module uncomment the lines in previous proc iml)
proc iml;
start myModule(MatrixWithHeader);
print MatrixWithHeader;
print (MatrixWithHeader[,"a"]);
finish myModule;
store module=myModule;
run;
I got the following error:
ERROR: (execution) Character argument should be numeric.
How can I access the matrix columns in the module by their names?
Access by column number will make the code inflexible. Possible workaround might be to pass the vector of column names as an argument and run a mattrib inside the module. However, repeat of mattrib is cumbersome and in this case I will need to extract colnames from the myMatrix, since it is defined by a long piece of code (not like in example), and the vector of names is not available.
Thanks in advance,

SOLVED
Thanks for the solution.
I think the only solution is to use a GLOBAL clause and access the original matrix that has the attributes. Even though SAS/IML passes arguments by reference, it does not preserve the MATTRIB assignments (Like you, I noticed this only recently.) Furthermore, there is no function that you can call to return the matrix attributes (in particular, the column names), so you cannot extract the column names from a matrix and then pass the names into a module as another parameter.
I want to generate a fixed random variable ~N(0,10) for every observation for future computation.
gen X=rnormal (0,10)
list X
Blank
How can I see what value of X is being generated?
You were probably using an empty dataset when you issued these commands. In that case you would first need to tell Stata how many observations your dataset contains. For that you need to use the set obs command, so something like:
. set seed 12345
. set obs 10
obs was 0, now 10
. gen x = rnormal(0,10)
. list, clean
x
1. -9.580833
2. -2.907274
3. 8.45202
4. 8.617108
5. -12.19151
6. 9.457337
7. 1.722469
8. -13.29949
9. -11.5291
10. 25.1646
Think of what would happen when you did not use set obs. In that case Stata would see gen x = rnormal(0,10) and think "ok, I need to create random draws from a normal distribution, but how many?". If you had a dataset open, then it would answer "as many as there are observations in the dataset". If you had no dataset open, then the answer would still be "as many as there are observations in the dataset", but that happens to be 0.
Edit:
If you just want one number you are best of using scalars and not variables. In Stata a scalar refers to a single number and a variable refers to a single column in your dataset. For scalars it is best to use temporary names, as they share the same namespace as variables but variables take precedence when it comes to abreviations, which can lead to unexpected behaviour. So you could do something like:
. tempname a
. scalar `a' = rnormal(0,10)
. di `a'

I am attempting to use fortran to write out a comma-delimited file for import into another commercial package. The issue is that I have an unknown number of data columns. My output needs to look like this:
a_string,a_float,a_different_float,float_array_elem1,float_array_elem2,...,float_array_elemn
which would result in something that might look like this:
L1080,546876.23,4325678.21,300.2,150.125,...,0.125
L1090,563245.1,2356345.21,27.1245,...,0.00983
I have three issues. One, I would prefer the elements to be tightly grouped (variable column width), two, I do not know how to define a variable number of array elements in the format statement, and three, the array elements can span a large range--maybe 12 orders of magnitude. The following code conceptually does what I want, but the variable 'n' and the lack of column-width definition throws an error (of course):
WRITE(50,900) linenames(ii),loc(ii,1:2),recon(ii,1:n)
900 FORMAT(A,',',F,',',F,n(',',F))
(I should note that n is fixed at run-time.) The write statement does what I want it to when I do WRITE(50,*), except that it's width-delimited.
I think this thread almost answered my question, but I got quite confused: SO. Right now I have a shell script with awk fixing the issue, but that solution is...inelegant. I could do some manipulation to make the output a string, and then just write it, but I would rather like to avoid that option if at all possible.
I'm doing this in Fortran 90 but I like to try to keep my code as backwards-compatible as possible.
the format close to what you want is f0.3, this will give no spaces and a fixed number of decimal places. I think if you want to also lop off trailing zeros you'll need to do a good bit of work.
The 'n' in your write statement can be larger than the number of data values, so one (old school) approach is to put a big number there, eg 100000. Modern fortran does have some syntax to specify indefinite repeat, i'm sure someone will offer that up.
----edit
the unlimited repeat is as you might guess an asterisk..and is evideltly "brand new" in f2008
In order to make sure that no space occurs between the entries in your line, you can write them separately in character variables and then print them out using theadjustl() function in fortran:
program csv
implicit none
integer, parameter :: dp = kind(1.0d0)
integer, parameter :: nn = 3
real(dp), parameter :: floatarray(nn) = [ -1.0_dp, -2.0_dp, -3.0_dp ]
integer :: ii
character(30) :: buffer(nn+2), myformat
! Create format string with appropriate number of fields.
write(myformat, "(A,I0,A)") "(A,", nn + 2, "(',',A))"
! You should execute the following lines in a loop for every line you want to output
write(buffer(1), "(F20.2)") 1.0_dp ! a_float
write(buffer(2), "(F20.2)") 2.0_dp ! a_different_float
do ii = 1, nn
write(buffer(2+ii), "(F20.3)") floatarray(ii)
end do
write(*, myformat) "a_string", (trim(adjustl(buffer(ii))), ii = 1, nn + 2)
end program csv
The demonstration above is only for one output line, but you can easily write a loop around the appropriate block to execute it for all your output lines. Also, you can choose different numerical format for the different entries, if you wish.
