Understanding Built-In Functions

CA 2E built-in functions specify low-level operations that you can use within the user points in action diagrams to implement a specific field manipulation or to control an action within the action diagram.

Follow these steps to insert a built-in function at an action diagram user point.

1. Enter IAF next to the location in the action diagram where you want to insert the function. The Edit Action - Function Name window appears.
   • Leave the Function File option blank to default to the *Built in functions file.
   • Enter ? for the Function option and press Enter to display a list of the built-in functions. Alternatively, you can enter the name of the built-in function.
2. Select the built-in function you want. The Edit Action - Function Name window appears. Press Enter to display the Edit Action - Function Details window and enter parameters for the built-in function you selected.
3. Press Enter to continue editing the Action Diagram.

Each of the built-in functions are listed alphabetically and described on the following pages.
