Transformation templates: variables

[Orinoco]

I’m trying to pass a variable from one transform template to another.

My PIM package structure looks like this:
<<myRootPackage>>Foo(package)
--------------------------------------Bar(package)
-------------------------------------------Jan(package)
-------------------------------------------myClass1
-------------------------------------------myCass2

My goal in the transformation is to set the filename property of each of the classes to Foo.ext

In my Namespace template I tried:

%if packageStereotype == "myRootPackage"%
$filenameBase=%packageName% + ".ext"
%endIf%

This correctly sets that variable but I can’t then use it in my Class template to set the filename property there.
Maybe a user variable is not the best way to do this. Is there an appropriate “global” field/property I can set at the Namespace level, then access in Class?

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Are you trying to get all the classes to write to the same file?

If so you'll have to do some work. Search the forum for answers; there was something in the last week or so.

Thanks David

Yes, got that bit working (set filename property for each class and make sure "Synchronize model and code" is set)
I've even got it referencing a local path definition. Now I just want the file's name to be carried from the package I've stereotyped as <<myRootPackage>> two levels up.

Tricky,

You might need an add-in to do this.

You should also check to make sure that each class isn't overwriting the one before.
