VBSCript Math Operators.
Input
Any active data file, in any format. This data file is ignored by the task and is not modified in any
way.
Processing
The task executes the mathematical operation and stores the result in the selected job info or
variable.
Output
The input data file is returned with no modifications. Metadata is not modified. Asingle job info
or variable is modified by this task.
Properties
General Tab
l Mathematical Expression: Variable data field containing the expression to be evaluated.
This expression may combine any combination of standard PReS Workflow variables
and VBScript mathematical expressions. For example, to multiply Job Info 9 by 2, the
expression would be %9*2 .
l Store result in: Variable data field containing the job information, local or global variable
in which to store the result. For job information use %1 through %9, for local variables use
%{variable} and for global variables use %{global.variable}.
l Use value of Variable/JobInfo # expression: Use the contents of the variable entered in
Store result in:, which is assumed to be a digit between 1 and 9. This digit determines in
which job info the result of the mathematical expression is store. For example, if %
{myvariable} is equal to 9, job information 9 will store the result of the mathematical
operation.
