Defining Integer values
l
Preprocessor:
l
In the Step properties pane, under Properties, add or select a field.
l
Specify the Type as Integer and set a default value as a number, such as 42.
l
Extraction:
l
In the Data Model, select a field.
l
On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition set the Type to 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, 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 hold 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
type (numeric, Boolean, Char, Date, structure, or enumeration).
