Oracle® Insurance Rules Palette
The SegmentField allows for assigning the value of a field from AsSegment or AsSegmentField to a math variable so the value can be used to perform calculations. The SegmentField math variable has been designed for efficiency and therefore its use is preferred over an SQL statement in the configuration.

Note: For a comprehensive explanation of the characteristics of this math variable, refer to the XML Configuration Guide in the Help menu.
Drag and drop the SegmentField Math variable from the Palette window onto the Math Pane. Enter the following information for the math variable.
Type a name in the Name field. This is required.
The applicable Data Types are: Boolean, Date, Decimal, Integer, Map and Text. This is required.
Make sure variable type is defined as SegmentField. This is required.
Select Yes or No from Log field. Default is No. This is an optional field.
Round offers the option of Yes or No. Round is only enabled if the user selects the Decimal in the data type property. Select Yes to round the Decimal. Enter the number of decimal places to round the result value.
Default is used for a Decimal or Integer value so the system will not return a null value. For example, the default for an Integer data type could be -999999999.
Note: When Ctrl+Space bar is clicked , a selectable list of fields for the filtered segment name will appear based on the data type selected. If the segment name filter is not used, then all fields of that data type for all segments of the plan will be displayed.
