Computing and displaying an Integer value.

[arunkumar]

Hi,

I was going through the basic tutorial and there is a sample script given " controls.text1.text.text = 'Welcome ' + fields.FIRST_NAME.value; " this works fine for characters but when i need to display a integer value in the same text 1 location it is not possible ,The script which i used is " set text1.text='TEXT1 WITH NUMBER'+NUM1; " where NUM1 is an integer value.

If there is any link which i can read to understand this scripting is available please share it.

This should work OK:

Code: Select all

controls.text1.text.text='TEXT1 WITH NUMBER'+NUM1;

..but not:

Code: Select all

set controls.text1.text.text='TEXT1 WITH NUMBER'+NUM1;

the "set" is not valid when using Javascript.

For documentation, press F1 in the script editor - there are a number of documents available. Or click here http://dev-docs.verj.io/ufs/doc/Javascr ... ipting.htm.

Ebase Xi includes 2 scripting languages Javascript and FPL and you can use either.

• o The Javascript language is a standard and you can find lots of documentation/books etc online; Ebase Xi supplies an API that provides access to fields, controls, pages etc from Javascript. This documentation is provided via the link above.
  o The FPL language is proprietary to Ebase and you can find the documentation by pressing F1 in the FPL script editor or by clicking here http://dev-docs.verj.io/ufs/doc/script_ ... syntax.htm

If you don't know which language to use, we recommend Javascript.

I used the same code that you have given but it is still showing error "

Code: Select all

 Script FIRST_SCRIPT: Invalid SET expression controls.text2.text='TEXT2 WITH NUMBER'+NUM1 - Script FIRST_SCRIPT: Error evaluating expression 'TEXT2 WITH NUMBER'+NUM1 - Invalid parameter type

.

I think this is because you are using an FPL script. This syntax applies to a Javascript script.
