Integer

Integers are signed, numeric, whole 64bit numbers whose values range from -(2^63) to (2^63). Integers are the numerals with the highest precision (and the fastest processing speed) of all, since they are never rounded.

Defining Integer values

• Preprocessor:
  • In the Step properties pane, under Properties, add or select a field.
  • Specify the Type as Integer and set a default value as a number, such as 42.
• Extraction:
  • In the Data Model, select a field.
  • On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition set the Type to Integer.
  The field value will be extracted and treated as an integer.
• JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to any Integer value. Example: record.fields["AnswerToEverything"] = 42;

Building Integer Values

Integers can be set through a few methods, all of which result into an actual integer result.

• Direct attribution: Assign an integer value directly, such as 42, 99593463712, record.fields.Total; or data.extract("TotalOrdered");.
• Mathematical operations: Assign the result of any mathematical operation. For example: 22+51, 3*6, 10/5, record.fields["InvTotal"], or sourceRecord.property.SubTotal.
