[Equest-users] User-Defined Default Expressions

[Chris Jones via Equest-users]

Note, only the first 4 characters of the C-ACTIVITY-DESC field are recognized in user defined expressions. Therefore, if your UDF uses “RETAIL” as the test, it may fail because only “RETA” is used.

Other than that, I suggest reviewing the BDLDFT.TXT file in the eQUEST 3-65 Data folder. It is full of example default expressions.

Subject: [Equest-users] User-Defined Default Expressions

Hi eQUEST Users,
I'm trying to create default user expressions in an effort to auto-populate certain fields in my models.
I want to reference the activity description (C-ACTIVITY-DESC) have it automatically fill in fields such as Area/Person.
So for this example, I'm trying to make all spaces that have Activity Description of "RETAIL" to be populated with a Area/Person value of 67.
I've tried using the "Switch" function and if-then statements but haven't been able to get it to work.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike Campbell
