The operators supported in expressions are similar to operators found in other computer languages. The following table shows the operators supported by the Report Writer:
Operator Name Example
- negate -10, -amount
+ plus amount+10
- minus amount-10
* times amount*10
/ divide amount/10
DIV integer division amount DIV 10
% modulus amount%10
** exponent amount**3
@ string concatenation "How now, " @ "brown cow."
If amount equals 21.5, then the following shows what will be the result of each operator:
-amount =-21.5
amount+10 =31.5
amount-10 =11.5
amount*10 =215
amount/10 =2.15
amount DIV 10 =2
amount%10 =1.5
amount**3 =21.5 * 21.5 * 21.5
