[Solved]Eval problem?

[malefic 48]

Okay - tried a few different things......anyone know why the #DELAY value is staying blank in debugger?

 

if($comparison(#NUMACTION, "=", $nothing)) {
       then {
           set(#NUMBER_PER_HOUR, 150, "Global")
       }
       else {
           set(#NUMBER_PER_HOUR, #NUMACTION, "Global")
       }
   }
   set(#DELAY, $eval($divide(#NUMBER_PER_HOUR, 60)), "Global")

 

NUMACTION and NUMBER_PER_HOUR are being set, DELAY isn't being calculated......

 

Anyone have any ideas why?

its wonky...

 

try:

 

set(#DELAY, $divide(#NUMBER_PER_HOUR, 60), "Global")

Cheers Duane - sorted. Thought it was only me that said things are 'wonky' !

Sure I have used $eval before on it though.

 

I put it down to the rare glimpse of sun we have in the UK at the moment, laying with my head

As a follow up, why isn't divide and multiply available from the menu and only appear if you type it in code view or in code view?

They are not menu commands, they appear when you use the math operators. So you only need to use "x - y" to get a subtract, etc...it's faster and easier.

Not sure why I threw in the extra $eval in there to start with then....old age or too much banging my head against the wall when websites put limits in that means a bit of a rewrite

by the way JohnB

 

can i do things like that?

if

(

#var=10 OR (#var2+#var3=10)){}

or

if(#var=$true AND #var2=$false){}

 

 

is this possible ?

[JohnB 255]

Yes, just use If--->comparison and put your addition inside the comparison (the first parameter box)
