Expression Functions 

The expression functions are described in the following sections. Each function includes a description, a syntax, a list of arguments, one or more usage examples, and any necessary notes.

Function arguments have the following meaning:

■       v1, v2, … (vn are value parameters)

■       i1, i2, … (in are integer parameters)

■       n1, n2, … (nn are numeric parameters)

■       s1, s2, … (sn are string parameters)

■       m1 is a multi-valued parameter (fields and attributes only)

NULL-value handling is as follows:

■       For validations, NULL is treated as a non-failure.

■       For assignments, NULL is treated as NULL.

■       For searches, NULL is treated as a non-match.

Starting with SP5 Patch 5, string functions were changed to be grapheme-based to be consistent with MDM search functions.
