The following is a description of the design elements of the Edit User-
defined Calculation window:
•Element A - Called the Calculation Steps Viewer, this element
displays the line-by-line construction of the calculation as it is
being built. The following commands allow you to interact with
this area:
• Click Clear All to clear the content of the Calculation Steps
Viewer.
• Click Clear Line to clear the content of the selected line.
Note
If the selected line is an "If-Then" statement, then the entire condition is cleared. This
button is disabled when the cursor is on an "else" or "endif" condition.
• Click Delete Line to delete the selected line.
Note
If the selected line is the beginning of a conditional statement, then the entire "If-Then"
block will be deleted along with the expressions that constitute the "If-Then" construct.
If the selected line is part of the conditional "If-Then" construct—that is, the line only
has "Else" or "Endif" in it—then the entire "If-Then" construct will be deleted.
• Click Copy to copy the selected line to the clipboard. You cannot
copy keywords such as “else” or “endif.”
• Click Paste to paste the content of the clipboard into a selected
line. If the line already has a calculation in it, it is cleared before
the content of the clipboard is pasted into it.
•Element B - A drop-down menu with the following three
commands:
• Insert Comment - Adds a comment to the calculation. Each
comment is preceded by “//.”
• Insert Condition - Adds an “If-Then” statement to the
calculation.
• Insert Expression - Adds a mathematical expression to the
calculation.
•Element C - Also called the Expression Editor, this section is the
work area where the comment, condition or expression is built
