AddVar

All validation programs

Adds a value to the current value of a variable. This can keep a running total for use in other rules. Maximum precision is 8 decimal places.

Format of Parameters

VarName  VarValue

Where:

VarName	The variable to hold the accumulated values. If VarName has not yet been defined, it is created.
VarValue	Optional. The amount being added to the variable. This can be a variable, Current_Element, or a literal in double quotes. If omitted, the value of Current_Element is assumed.

Example. This rule keeps a running total of the service line amounts in each repetition of the SV2 and enclosing CLM loops. It is applied to each service line amount element.
