Defining optionCodes for GetNextOTMOption

[lowlander]

Hi. I'm trying to get OTM option data and running into Expected double error immediately:

Expected double at 3:5
Expected class com.devexperts.tos.thinkscript.data.SymbolType at 5:17
Expected double at 5:5

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

input expirationDate = 20240120;

def optionATM = GetATMOption(GetUnderlyingSymbol(), expirationDate,OptionClass.CALL);

def optionOTM = GetnextOTMOption(optionATM);

def optionATM = GetATMOption(GetUnderlyingSymbol(), expirationDate,OptionClass.CALL);

def optionOTM = GetnextOTMOption(optionATM);

the functions like this one, GetATMOption() , returns a symbol, not a price.
def assigns a number to a variable, not text.
can't assign text with def.
input can assign text to a variable, but not from a formula.
so, can't create a text value and assign to a variable

have to generate the option code each time you want to use it

here is an example.
it may take a few seconds to display the labels.
or might have to pick another stock, then pick original stock again.
try stocks, F and T

def optionOTM = close(GetNextOTMOption(GetATMOption(GetUnderlyingSymbol(), expirationDate, OptionClass.CALL)));

addlabel(1, optionotm, color.cyan);
#

ignore that peak len label, from another study.

Thank you @halcyonguy. That did the trick for what I needed to accomplish.
