Syntax in Process Data Calculation Formulas

When defining your formula, note the following:

Always use the decimal point for decimal numbers.

You can use variables to transfer numeric values of preceding process instructions to the formula.
For more information, see Use of Variables in Process Instructions.

In long formulas, you may use no more than 240 characters that can be separated in any number of lines.

Note that a blank character is automatically set at the end of each line. For this reason, make sure to write long number, variable names, or operators together in one line.
