Aritmetics operations with UDFS

Posted on Jan 19, 2005 at 12:41 PM 30 Views

Could somebody help me with this problem? SBO 6.5

What data type works properly to make aritmetics operations? I have 2 UDF in OINV table and i want to multiplicate them and divide by 100. I've try many things but system doesn't send me any error.

Only i´ve obtained and error when udf's data type is "Units and Totals" subtype "Amount" and i've checked this select with many data types.

I have this select:

SELECT (($[OINV.U_DtoAHM] * $[OINV.U_ImpAnt)/100) FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.DocNum=$[OINV.DocNum] FOR BROWSE

to calculate a new discount in the invoice card but SBO doesn't calculate it.

And a stranger behavior:

With numeric (integer, I think) data type i obtained next results:

SELECT (($[OINV.U_DtoAHM] * $[OINV.U_ImpAnt)/100) FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.DocNum=$[OINV.DocNum] FOR BROWSE

Doesn't work.

SELECT ((1000 * $[OINV.U_ImpAnt)/100) FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.DocNum=$[OINV.DocNum] FOR BROWSE

Works properly.

AND

SELECT (($[OINV.U_DtoAHM] * 1000)/100) FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.DocNum=$[OINV.DocNum] FOR BROWSE

Works properly.

Incredible...

Thanks.

    I had similar problems with formatted searches some time ago.

    I solved it casting the values obtained.

    Here you have a sample of a formatted search that works:

    SELECT CAST($[$38.U_PrixAch] AS numeric(19,6))/(1-CAST($[$38.U_TauxM] AS numeric(19,6)))

    Hope it solves your problem

    Trinidad.

      The syntax you are using for the variables is designed to return a string. There is an additional parameter '.NUMBER' you can use to get SBO to treat the variable as a numeric item. I have included a simple example below (assumes value of UDF is 5).

      SELECT $[ORDR.U_AZU_SPHR]

      - Treats it as a string: select '5'

      SELECT $[ORDR.U_AZU_SPHR.NUMBER]

      - Treats it as numeric: select 5

      This might solve your problem.

      Regards,

      John.
