“http://88.20.131.129/pos/store”,
‘{\r\n “RequestType”: “Association”,\r\n “Version”: “V1”,\r\n “AssociateAccount”: [\r\n {\r\n “accId”: “12365498”,\r\n “encryptedsecuritycode”: “MTIzZXJkdA==”,\r\n “phonenum”: “${randomPhNo}”,\r\n “originator”: “dummy”\r\n }\r\n ]\r\n}’,

I got it working by using a Javascript template string surrounding the body with backticks instead of single quotes, and embed the variable using ${} :

{\r\n “RequestType”: “Association”,\r\n “Version”: “V1”,\r\n “AssociateAccount”: [\r\n {\r\n “accId”: “12365498”,\r\n “encryptedsecuritycode”: “MTIzZXJkdA==”,\r\n “phonenum”: “${randomPhNo}”,\r\n “originator”: “dummy”\r\n }\r\n ]\r\n},
