ExpandString (function)

Returns a string that contains the data from a Workflow tool variable. Any variable available to the Workflow tool can be used

here.

Syntax

ExpandString(stringtoexpand: string) string

Arguments

stringtoexpand

The Workflow tool variable string to expand. This can be local and global variables, job infos, as well as any other variable

such as %o, %j, %y, etc.

Return Value

Returns the resulting expanded string.

Code Sample Example

define(&result, string, '')

&result := ExpandString('%{global.GlobalVar}')

show(&result)

% Also works with system variables

&result := ExpandString('%o')

show(&result)

Field (function)

Returns the contents of the specified field for the current record. This function is only useful in database emulation mode.

Syntax

field( fieldname[, recordnumber] ) string value

Argument

fieldname

String value specifying the name of the field whose value you want to retrieve.

recordnumber

Integer value specifying the number of the record, in the current record set, whose value you want to retrieve. If you omit this

argument, the document uses the value of &current.line.

This argument is case sensitive. Thus the field names OrderNumber and ORDERNUMBER are not equivalent.

Code Sample Example

This example shows how to print the name and content of the current record in a generic fashion.
