ASSIGN Function

Use: Assigns the source value to a list of destination parameters (fields and/or variables). Syntax: {ASSIGN( «source» , «dest1», «dest2»,,,, )} Arguments: {source} Source value«dest1» Field or variable to be assigned the source value«dest2»,,,, (to «destn») Each additional field or variable to be assigned the source value Returns: The source value Example: Source value = ""dest1 = template_name_.field1dest2 = template_name_.field 2dest3 = @variable1{ASSIGN( "" , template_name_.field1 , template_name_.field2 , @variable1)} Result: An empty value is assigned to the destination fields and variable.

SUBF$ Function

Use: Required when ASSIGN, CONFIRM, INPUTBOX, or PICKARRAY function parameters are used for the true/false values in the IFELSE Function. The addition of this subfunction ensures that the IFELSE function is evaluated correctly and returns the valid true or false value. Syntax: {IFELSE( «condition» , {SUBF$( «function» )$}, {SUBF$( «function» )$},)} Arguments: {SUBF$( «function» )$} «function» ASSIGN, CONFIRM, INPUTBOX, or PICKARRAY function$ symbols Used internally to ensure that the subfunction is evaluated correctly within the IFELSE function Returns: The true or false value based on the condition and function type Example 1: The ASSIGN function assigns a source value to the destination field(s) or variable(s). {IFELSE( {{template_name_.inputfield}=1 , {SUBF$( {ASSIGN("value 1" , {template_name_.field1}, {template_name_.field2})} )$}, {SUBF$( {ASSIGN("value 2" , {template_name_.field3}, {template_name_.field4} )} )$} )}Result: If 1 is entered in the input field, value 1 is assigned t

INSERT String Function

Use: Inserts a substring into another string at a given position Syntax: {INSERT( «string» , «string», «num»)} Arguments: First «string» Character string to insert another string intoSecond «string» String value to insert in another string«num» Zero-based character position where the substring is to be inserted Returns: A string with the substring inserted Example: Fields = txt_field1, txt_field2{template_name_.txt_field1} = Add: text.{template_name_.txt_field2} = new{INSERT( {template_name_.txt_field1}, {template_name_.txt_field2}, 5 )} Or {INSERT( {template_name_.txt_field1}, new, 5 )} Result: Add: newtext.

Focus Function

The @Focus function enables you to assign a value to or from the last edited field on a template to have focus. This function is typically used on an Assign Field Value trigger on a button or active image field. For example, this function can be used with a Vital Signs number pad that assigns values to height, weight, and temperature. You can select this function in the following ways: You can select @Focus from the Assign To field list on the Assign Field Value trigger window. You can select @Focus Last Edit Field with Focus in the Functions list to include @Focus in the value calculation for an Assign Field Value trigger, the condition for any trigger, or the function body for a macro function. CAUTION: You cannot select or assign data from a Memo-type data entry field if it was the last field to have focus. If you set up a @Focus function, and the Memo field was the last edited field, the focus does not go to that field. Parent topic: Functions
