Defining Integer Values
l
Pre-Processor: Specify the "Type" as "Integer" and set a default value as a number,
such as 42;
l
Extraction: Specify the "Type" as "Integer". The field value will be extracted and treated
as an integer.
l
JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to any integer value.
Example: record.fields["AnswerToEverything"] = 42;
Building Integer Values
Integers can be set through a few methods, all of which result into an actual integer result.
l
Direct attribution: Assign an integer value directly, such as
42,99593463712ordata.extract("TotalOrdered").
l
Mathematical operations: Assign the result of any mathematical operation. For
example:22 + 51,3*6,10/5orsourceRecord.property.SubTotal. For more information on
mathematics in JavaScript , see w3Schools - Mathematical Operators. For more
advanced mathematical functions, see w3schools - Math Object.
Note
When adding numbers that are not integers, for instance 4.5 + 1.2 , a round towards zero
rounding is applied after the operation was made. In the previous example, the result, 5.7, is
rounded to 5. In another example, -1.5 - 1 results in -2
Float Data Type
Floats are signed, numeric, floating-point numbers whose value has 15-16 significant digits.
Routinely used for calculations. Note that floats are inherently imprecise: their accuracy varies
according to the number of significant digits being requested.
