Functions

The Functions view is displayed automatically when a Function draggable object is landed into the Procedure Workspace. The view has two columns: Name and Description (displayed when a Function is selected in the Name column). The Name column lists the available Functions within three possible groups: Reports, System, and User functions.

• Reports
  all user-defined reports created under Architecture > Report Procedures.

• System
  a large variety of useful functions e.g. AddToDate:

AddToDate function increments or decrements the date by the given number; the number is treated as days, weeks, months or years according to the setting of the Units parameter. The Function takes the following input parameters:

<Date>	original date
<Increment>	number of date units to be added (if positive) to or subtracted (if negative) from the original date
<Units>	date units

Once a Function object is brought into the Workspace and the function name (e.g. AddToDate) is selected (click or drag-and-drop), the object expands to receive the parameters:

• User functions
  all Functions created under Architecture > User Functions
