Expression and operator examples

Modulus example

Use the MOD (modulus) operator button (shown as MOD in the expression) when you need to calculate the value of the remainder of a division operation.

For example, if you want to validate that a transaction amount is in ten dollar increments, you could create a Math expression like this: TranAmount MOD 10.00

This Math component returns the remainder left when you divide the value of the TranAmount field by 10.

Then you could use the Math expression in a Simple component that compares the value created by the Math expression to zero. The Math expression returns a value of zero for transaction amounts in even 10 dollar increments. The Math expression returns a value greater than zero for all other transaction amounts.

AND expression example

This example shows a simple AND expression.

Look for:

transactions that have a price per share greater than $99.99

AND

are for accounts from New York

AND

were processed today

AND with OR expressions example

This example shows an AND expression with OR expressions.

Look for:

accounts from New York OR from New Jersey OR from Connecticut that had transactions processed within the last calendar week

AND

the price per share was greater than $99.99
