l
Direct attribution: Assign an integer value directly, such as 42, 99593463712 or
data.extract("TotalOrdered");.
l
Mathematical operations: Assign the result of any mathematical operation. For example:
22+51, 3*6, 10/5 or sourceRecord.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
Object
Objects holds addresses that refer to objects. You can assign any reference type (string, array,
class, or interface) to an Object variable. An Object variable can also refer to data of any value
