Overview

Built-in functions evaluate expressions according to predefined operations and return results that can be used in command processing. Built-in functions use a specified list of parameters, which are not changed by the execution of the function.

A built-in function can be used wherever the syntax for a variable expression specifies an arithmetic expression, the name of a user-defined data field, a user supplied numeric constant, a literal in quotes, or a string-variable.

User-defined and system-defined functions are described below, after a discussion of general considerations that apply to both types of built-in functions.
