Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Using function in a calculation problems

    Hello,
    I'm creating an application that help Fashion designer to calculate data when crating a sloper for the garment, in one of the fields is needed the following calculation,
    Example:
    Bust = 33"
    Underbust = 27"
    A: Cup size = If the underbust is an ODD number add 5", and if the result is even then add 4" in our example the number is 27" so we add 5" the result then is 32".
    New Underbust number is 32"
    B:next: Bust - New UnderBust 33"-32"= 1"
    If the result = 1" the cup size is "A"
    If the result = 2" the cup size is "B"
    If the result = 2" the cup size is "B"
    In our case the Cup Size is "A"
    In excel is very simple:
    A: =IF(ISODD(UnderBust),UnderBust+5",UnderBust+4")
    B: =IF((Bust-UnderBust)=1,"A",IF((Bust-UnderBust)=2,"B","C"))

    In
    Alpha anywhere v 12 the ISODD function is not recognize.
    Can anybody Help me fix this issue?

    Thanks
    Samuel Eskenasy

    Use Mod() to determine if it is even or odd.

      Re: Using function in a calculation problems

      ? mod(int(-1),2)
      = -1
      ? mod(int(2.5),2)
      = 0
      ? mod(int(5),2)
      = 1
      So if mod(int(some_value),2) <> 0 the number ISODD.
      There can be only one.

          Thanks for the citation, Steve. Seems the Excel ISODD() operates a bit differently with fractional parts so I tweaked the logic a bit.

            i see you are in mobile & Browser forum, where is this calculation being done
            in an ux or an updatable grid? if so, then you may want to consider writing the code in javascript. which will not require a callback to the server.

                I add the calculation in a UX field calculation. But I'm really confuse with the mod() function(don't figure out how to place the data).

                  IF(ISODD(UnderBust),UnderBust+5",UnderBust+4")

                  would become

                  IF(mod(int(UnderBust),2)>0,UnderBust+5",UnderBust+4")
                  There can be only one.

                    I'd try your suggestion, an error massage "mod" is undefined .

                      Re: Using function in a calculation problems

                      Then you're operating in an environment where xbasic functions aren't allowed. See post #6 about using javascript.

                      Actually the earlier answer was not entirely correct.

                      The expression should not have the " inch representation.


                      IF(mod(int(UnderBust),2)>0,UnderBust+5,UnderBust+4)

                          Re: Using function in a calculation problems

                          mod is an alpha function, highly doubt that it is available at the browser level.
                          you should be doing this via javascript, otherwise you should do an ajaxcallback to the server where the function is available at the WAS.
                          additionally you need two step process these two should be able to be combined in one javascript call and the size is captured at the end.
                          again you did not answer my original question in post number 6. is this on an ux or updatable grid?

                              okay this is what you do
                              say if you have three fields
                              bust a number, under_breast a number and cup a character fields, then in the under_breast onChange event define an inline javascript and copy the following.
                              Code:
                              var underBreast = {dialog.object}.getValue('UNDER_BREAST’);
                              var onBust = {dialog.object}.getValue(‘BUST’);
                              var newUnderBreast = null;
                              if (underBreast%2 == 0) {
                                 newUnderBreast = parseInt(underBreast) + 4;
                              } else {
                                newUnderBreast = parseInt(underBreast) + 5;
                              }
                              var cupSize = null;
                              if (onBust - newUnderBreast == 1) {
                                   cupSize = 'A';
                              }
                              else if (onBust - newUnderBreast == 2) {
                                  cupSize = 'B';
                              }
                              else  {
                                 cupSize = ‘C’;
                              }
                              
                              {dialog.object}.setValue(‘CUP’, cupSize);
                              and you can change the condition of C as you please.

                              i am not going to be at my work computer till saturday any fine tuning will take time for me to do.
                              let us know how it goes.
