Field nesting
Expression fields can be nested within a set of other functions with the possibility to nest them within the expression field.
Some examples of nested functions:
|
Function |
Nested within the expression field |
Expression field is nested |
|
COMPARE |
{=2+{COMPARE "2" = "2" }} |
{COMPARE "4" = {=2*2}} |
|
DATE |
{=2+{\@DATE MM }} |
The DATE field contains no arguments, so the expression field cannot be nested. |
|
HYPERLINK |
{=2+{HYPERLINK "cib.de"}} |
{HYPERLINK "www.cib{=1}.de} |
|
IF |
{=2+{IF "2" = "2" "100" "200" }} |
{IF "{=1+1}" = "2" "100" "200"} |
|
MERGEFIELD (acts the same as REF) |
{=2+{MERGEFIELD name}} |
{MERGEFIELD name{=1}} |
|
REF |
{=2+{REF name}} |
{REF name{=1}} |
|
SET |
{=2+{SET name 100}} |
{SET name{=1} 100} |
