Transfer of property from one request's response to next request - Error

Hi,

I have a 'Open' request and want to use the 'session ID' from its response in the 'Close' request.

I did this using GetData->Open->Response->sessionID and it throws the following error dring validation.

"error: decimal: Invalid decimal value: unexpected char '36'; T=int@http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

The XPath value that I am setting is

"${Open#Response#//tol:authenticateUserResponse[1]/tol:sessionId[1]}"

The field type is integer. The ascii value of $ is 36 and somehow there seems to be a relation between these...

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Bhuvan.

I also tried to insert a 'project level' property as show below for this field. That too gave the same error for validation.

${#Project#ID12345}
