Examples

This section illustrates some expressions as they might be used in iProcess procedures without functions. (See the next section for functions.)

•

Test that the field of an iProcess Table record variable has defined contents:

TABTAG:TABFIELD <> SW_NA 

•

Test if the user of this procedure is "JOHN":

SW_USER:NAME = "JOHN"

•

Calculate the total price based on number of items, unit cost and VAT rate:

(NUM_UNITS * UNIT_PRICE) * VAT_RATE

•

Test if an order exceeds a customer’s credit limit, defined in an iProcess Table:

TOTAL_VALUE >= CUST_REC:CREDIT_LIM

•

Produce a composite name from components, for example "Mr. John Smith":

EMPLOYEE:SALUTATION + " " + EMPLOYEE:FNAME + " " + EMPLOYEE:LNAME

•

Calculate a date 3 months from now:

SW_DATE + @0/0/3/0@

•

Test if someone is old enough in an application procedure:

(SW_DATE - DATE_OF_BIRTH) > ((AGE_LIMIT * 365) + (AGE_LIMIT / 4))
