# COLLECTION and KEY

## Description

This math element can be used to create a COLLECTION, set the value of a math variable from an existing math variable or activity field, or execute a SQL statement that will return two result columns as a key-value pair. In the latter case, the first column is considered the key with the second column a value. A subsequent statement of type COLLECTIONVALUE is used to access the key to retrieve its associated value (see the last XML example).

COLLECTION and KEY Element/Attribute Table
TYPE=COLLECTION KEY=GUID
Element | Attribute | Attribute Value | Element Value
OPERATION="CREATE" |  |  |
<MathVariable> |  |  | Empty
VARIABLENAME | String: The name of the math variable. |
TYPE | COLLECTION |
OPERATION | CREATE Creates a COLLECTION MathVariable. |
DATATYPE | MAP |
OPERATION="SETVALUE" |  |  |
<MathVariable> |  |  | String: Refers to the name of a COLLECTION math variable created with OPERATION="CREATE".
VARIABLENAME | String: The name of the math variable whose value is set by this configuration. |
TYPE | COLLECTION |
OPERATION | SETVALUE Assigns a value to an existing or new math variable once the collection is created. Use a previously defined Math Variable or Activity Field to replace the value / |
DATATYPE | DATE TEXT INTEGER DECIMAL |
ROUND | Integer If DATATYPE="DECIMAL" |
KEY | The KEY indicates the type of value the configuror is using to map or insert into a new math variable name within the Collection. For example a SegmentGUID for a SegmentLoop to update the face amount or active code, a unique naming convention, or fund code. |
DEFAULT | String |
LOG | Yes: the result is stored in AsActivityMath table to be used by other activities. No: the result is not stored. This is the default behavior. |
OPERATION attribute omitted |  |  |
<MathVariable> |  |  | Option 1: One of the following: <SqlServer>[SqlStatement]</SqlServer> <Oracle>[SqlStatement]</Oracle> <DB2>[SqlStatement]</DB2> Option 2: [SqlStatement]
VARIABLENAME | String |
TYPE | COLLECTION |
DATATYPE | MAP |
