Functions
Functions are single words used by OmniForm to represent operations
within a calculation. Functions can use field values, information you
enter, and information from outside sources such as the computer date.
Please refer to the online help for a definition of each function and
instructions on how to use a function in a calculation.
See “Creating a Calculation” on page 8-2 for instructions on creating
calculations. See “Usage Conventions” on page 8-9 for a list of the
conventions used in this chapter.
