Simple Variables

+ +

Set myVariable to "myValue"

+ +

Set myNumber to 3.14

+ + + + +

Display myVariable: #myVariable#

+

Display myNumber: #myNumber#

+ +
+ +

Complex Variables

+ + +

Set myArray1 to an array of 1 dimension using literal or bracket notation

+ + +

Set myArray2 to an array of 1 dimension using function notation

+ + + +

Contents of myArray1

+ +

Contents of myArray2

+ + + + +

Operators

+

Arithmetic

+

1 + 1 = #1 + 1#

+

10 - 7 = #10 - 7#

+

15 * 10 = #15 * 10#

+

100 / 5 = #100 / 5#

+

120 % 5 = #120 % 5#

+

120 mod 5 = #120 mod 5#

+ +
+ + +

Comparison

+

Standard Notation

+

Is 1 eq 1? #1 eq 1#

+

Is 15 neq 1? #15 neq 1#

+

Is 10 gt 8? #10 gt 8#

+

Is 1 lt 2? #1 lt 2#

+

Is 10 gte 5? #10 gte 5#

+

Is 1 lte 5? #1 lte 5#

+ +

Alternative Notation

+

Is 1 == 1? #1 eq 1#

+

Is 15 != 1? #15 neq 1#

+

Is 10 > 8? #10 gt 8#

+

Is 1 < 2? #1 lt 2#

+

Is 10 >= 5? #10 gte 5#

+

Is 1 <= 5? #1 lte 5#

+ +
+ + +

Control Structures

+ + + +

Condition to test for: "#myCondition#"

+ + + #myCondition#. We're testing. + + #myCondition#. Proceed Carefully!!! + + myCondition is unknown + + +
+ + +

Loops

+

For Loop

+ +

Index equals #i#

+ + +

For Each Loop (Complex Variables)

+ +

Set myArray3 to [5, 15, 99, 45, 100]

+ + + + +

Index equals #i#

+ + +

Set myArray4 to ["Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie", "Delta", "Echo"]

+ + + + +

Index equals #s#

+ + +

Switch Statement

+ +

Set myArray5 to [5, 15, 99, 45, 100]

+ + + + + + +

#i# is a multiple of 5.

+ + +

#i# is ninety-nine.

+ + +

#i# is not 5, 15, 45, or 99.

+ + + + +
+ +

ValueAs BooleanAs numberAs date-timeAs string
"Yes"TRUE1Error"Yes"
"No"FALSE0Error"No"
TRUETRUE1Error"Yes"
FALSEFALSE0Error"No"
NumberTrue if Number is not 0; False otherwise.NumberSee "Date-time values" earlier in this chapter.String representation of the number (for example, "8").
StringIf "Yes", True
If "No", False
If it can be converted to 0, False
If it can be converted to any other number, True		If it represents a number (for example, "1,000" or "12.36E-12"), it is converted to the corresponding number.If it represents a date-time (see next column), it is converted to the numeric value of the corresponding date-time object.
If it is an ODBC date, time, or timestamp (for example "{ts '2001-06-14 11:30:13'}", or if it is expressed in a standard U.S. date or time format, including the use of full or abbreviated month names, it is converted to the corresponding date-time value.
Days of the week or unusual punctuation result in an error.
Dashes, forward-slashes, and spaces are generally allowed.		String
DateErrorThe numeric value of the date-time object.DateAn ODBC timestamp.
