Below script can be used to implement Yes/No prompt message taken from IBM documentation.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

# Business logic implementation if user selects Yes choice (clicks Yes button) def yes (): service.log("Sending Email") # Business logic implementation if user selects No choice (clicks No button) def no (): service.log("Not Sending Email") # Business logic to present the choice message initially def dflt (): params=[str(priority)] service.log("Throw ERROR") # Use the service utility's yncerror() method to push the choice message # The below key and group combination should be added in Database configuration -> Messages service.yncerror("asset", "assetpriorityemail",params); service.log ('$$SAM$ - entering ASSETPRIORITYVAL') # Declare the user input choices and the corresponding functions implemented in this script cases = {service.YNC_NULL:dflt, service.YNC_YES:yes, service.YNC_NO:no} # Make sure the choice message is presented only #if the field validation was triggered from user interface if interactive: if priority < 2: service.log ("About to do something") # Use the service utility's yncuserinput() method to trigger the entire interaction # User's response is stored in a local variable x x = service.yncuserinput() service.log("User input: "+str(x)) # Process the user input using Jython's case statement cases[x]()

Above code calls the yes() or no() method using python's dictionary. If it looks slightly confusing you can find a somewhat similar StackOverflow answer here.
