Programmatic Action Cell

Description

 

Select Case

Compares the value of an integer or string value in a variable against literal values (or with values held in other variables) and then branches accordingly.

 

Assign Variable

Assigns a value to a variable.

 

Loop To

Increments a value stored in a variable by 1 and then branches according to the new value.

 

Compare Variables

Compares two values and branches according to whether the first value is less than, equal to, or greater than the second value.

 

Modulus

Divides a number (the dividend) by another number (the divisor) and then assigns the remainder (the modulus) to a variable.

 

Divide

Divides a number (the dividend) by another number (the divisor) and then assigns the result (the quotient) to a variable.

 

Multiply

Multiplies a number by another number and then assigns the result (the product) to a variable.

 

Subtract

Subtracts a number from another number and then assigns the result (the difference) to a variable.

 

Sum

Adds a number to another number and then assigns the result (the sum) to a variable.

 

Random Number

Generates a random number in a specified range.

 

Date Validation

Branches according to whether a specified date is before or after the current date or equal to it.

 

Set VIEW Data

Populates extended record fields set up in storm VIEW with values stored in user variables.
