HTMLString
HTMLStrings contain textual data that includes HTML markup. They are essentially the same
as String values except in cases where the HTML markup can be interpreted.
Example: Assume that a field has the value He said <b>WOW!</b>. If the data type is String and
the value is placed in a template, it will display exactly as "He said <b>WOW!</b>" (without the
quotes). If the data type is HTMLString, it will display as "He said WOW!" (again, without the
quotes).
Considering this is the only difference, for more information on how to create and use HTML
String values, see "String" on the next page.
Integer
Integers are signed, numeric, whole 64bit numbers whose values range from -(2^63) to
(2^63).Integersare the numerals with the highest precision (and the fastest processing speed)
of all, since theyare never rounded.
Defining Integer values
l
Preprocessor:
l
In the Step properties pane, under Properties, add or select a field.
l
Specify the Type as Integer and set a default value as a number, such as 42.
l
Extraction:
l
In the Data Model, select a field.
l
On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition set the Type to Integer.
The field value will be extracted and treated as an integer.
l
JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to any Integer value. Example:
record.fields["AnswerToEverything"] = 42;
Building Integer Values
Integers can be set through a few methods, all of which result into an actual integer result.
l
Direct attribution: Assign an integer value directly, such as 42, 99593463712 or
data.extract("TotalOrdered");
