Field comparisons

Field comparisons use a statement to create a conditional property for a control on a form.

Syntax: FIELD OPERATOR VALUE

  • FIELD is any variable or field name surrounded by brackets, for example, [$x], [name], and so forth.
  • OPERATOR can be =, >, <, <>, or #.
  • VALUE is any quoted string or number.

Note: Field comparisons can also use complex conditions or statements to create a conditional property for a control on a form. You can use | or & to concatenate multiple expressions. For example: [$L.one.click]<>true &[$quantity]>1&[$orderonbehalf.marker]<>true.

Important: In order for a property to depend on a variable (or record field), the variable must be assigned as an input to an object on the same screen. For examples, see Use form dep.g to demonstrate Dynamic View Dependencies.
