# NUMERICARRAY

## Description

A set of methods, determined by the OPERATION type, that performs math operations on arrays of numeric values. Data types can be numeric, string, date or integer.

## NUMERICARRAY Element/Attribute Table

TYPE=NUMERICARRAY

Element | Attributes | Attribute Value | Element Value | Definition
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
<MathVariable> | TYPE | NUMERICARRAY |  |
OPERATION | CREATE | A literal value or math variable whose value is the length of the new array. | Creates a new numeric array.
REPLACE | A math variable or numeric literal to replace one or more of the elements of the current array. | Replaces a value at the specified array position with the element’s value. The INDEX attribute will either have an index value or two index values separated by a comma. If INDEX contains only one value, the element at that index is replaced by the value provided by the mathvariable element. If INDEX contains two values, the elements from the first index to and including the second index are replaced. Note: If the SOURCEARRAY attribute is specified, the name must be the same as the name of the specified VARIABLENAME.
APPEND | A variable or numeric literal whose value is appended to SOURCEARRAY. | Results in new array equal to array indicated by SOURCEARRAY attribute with element value appended. Note: If the SOURCEARRAY attribute is specified, the name must be the same as the name of the specified VARIABLENAME.
FILLBY-SQL | A valid SQL statement that returns one or more decimal values. | Creates an array of the resulting data returned by a SQL statement. The SQL statement must return one column with any number of rows.
TRANSFORM | Any valid expression. If the array elements are to be updated by using their current value in the calculation, use the name of the array in place of that value. If the value is just the name of another array variable, then that array is copied. | Performs the indicated calculation to every element of the referenced array(s) and stores each result in the math variable which is also an array. When multiple arrays are used, they must have the same length.
FILLBY-STOREDPROCEDURE |  | Fills the math variable with a numeric array returned from the named stored procedure. This attribute requires PROCEDURENAME and a list of parameters where applicable.
<Parameters> |  |  |  | Opening element that allows multiple parameters to be defined.
<Parameter> |  |  | Variable name defined in a prior math statement, literal value or expression that results in an appropriate data type. | Defines the values to be passed as input to the stored procedure.
| NAME | A literal value. |  | Defines the name of the parameter exactly as defined in the stored procedure.
| DATATYPE | A literal value. Values are limited to: DATE TEXT INTEGER DECIMAL |  |
