Unable to set context variable in tJava

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to set context variable value when the default value is null.

but the code didn't work for me. I'm not sure whats missing in below statements:

if(context.lgc_bus_dt==null){
context.lgc_bus_dt=TalendDate.formatDate("yyyyMM",TalendDate.addDate(TalendDate.getCurrentDate(),-1,"MM"));};

System.out.println( "Context variable value is:"+context.lgc_bus_dt);

it returns Null though even when i'm setting the variable value when its null.

try the following if you are using lgc_bus_dt datatype is string.

if(context.lgc_bus_dt==null || context.lgc_bus_dt.equals("") ){
context.lgc_bus_dt=TalendDate.formatDate("yyyyMM",TalendDate.addDate(TalendDate.getCurrentDate(),-1,"MM"));}

System.out.println( "Context variable value is:"+context.lgc_bus_dt);
