MultiField

The MULTIFIELDmath variable is used to access multifield values (using INDEX as an attribute) in Screen Math and Math sections.

The INDEXattribute can be any integer value ranging from 0-99. When the INDEX attribute is equal to 0, the first instance of a multifield will be retrieved. Each additional instance of a multifield will be accessed by incrementing the INDEX value in a subsequent math variable. A math variable that is configured with an INDEX greater than the number of instances of the multifield selected on the activity will result in the value of the math variable being equal to null. For math variables that are data type STRING or DATE, null is a valid value and no error will be returned. For math variables that are data type DECIMAL or INTEGER null is not a valid value and a system error will be returned, unless a default value is specified using configuration. A math variable that is configured with the TYPE equal to MULTIFIELD, but has no INDEX attribute specified will result in a code-generated system error.
