Hi focs (a.k.a. folks),

I'm wondering if it is possible to create a user defined function that takes a run-time parameter value. For this example the function takes a numeric value provided by the user and multiplies it by two. This is what I have...
FUNCTION
 -*DM_JOB_TYPE=512 
DEFINE FUNCTION MYFUNC(MYPARM/D8  XDEFAULT '1') 
MYFUNC/D8=MYPARM * 2; 
END


SYNONYM
VARIABLE
 VARIABLE NAME=&MYPARM,  USAGE=D8, $


SYNONYM
DEFINE
 DEFINE MYDEFINE/D20=DF.psrdevdata/myfunc.MYFUNC(&MYPARM); $


If this is legitimate how do I use this in a WebFOCUS procedure? If it's not legitimate is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Dan

Hi Dan,

You can define a Function, to accept params, and return a variable. The name of the returned variable and the name of the function should be the same.

A detailed explanation of user defined functions can be found at WebFOCUS Functions Doug's Blog. You can see that...


Thanks,

Ramkumar.
