# FUNCTIONCALL

## Description

A transaction or business rule can execute a configured function, as opposed to executing a system-defined function, by calling it via the FUNCTIONCALL MathVariable. Before calling the function(FunCall), the math variables that hold the values for the function's input and output parameters must be defined. The math variable performing the function call will store the value for the return. Use the <Parameter> tags to define the input and output parameters.

Please see the Function Rule section to view the elements to create a function to call.

TYPE = FUNCTIONCALL |  |  |
Element | Attributes | Attribute Value | Element Value
