Working With Numeric Data in Recital

Certain set commands change the display format of numeric data:

  • set decimals - specify the number of decimal places to be displayed 
set decimals to <places as numeric>
  • set fixed - determine whether the number of decimal places displayed is fixed 
set fixed on | off
  • set point - specify the character to be used as the decimal point 
set point to [<point as character>]
  • set separator - specify the character to be used to mark thousands 
set separator to [<separator as character>]

Numeric Conversion Functions

  • abs() - return the absolute value of a numeric 
numeric = abs(number as numeric)
  • cast() - perform data type conversion 
expression = cast(expression as expression AS datatype as character [, width as numeric [, precision as numeric]] [null | not null])
  • chr() - perform numeric to ASCII character conversion 
character = chr(number as numeric)
  • ctrl() - return the numeric value of a control character 
numeric = ctrl(letter as character)
  • currency() - perform numeric to currency string conversion 
character = currency(number as numeric)
  • etos() - perform expression to string conversion 
character = etos(expression as expression)
  • int() - return the integer value of a numeric 
numeric = int(number as numeric)
  • str() - perform numeric to string conversion 
character = str(number as numeric [, width as numeric [, decimals as numeric [, base as numeric]]] )
  • strzero() - perform numeric to zero left-padded string conversion 
character = strzero(number as numeric [, width as numeric [, decimals as numeric]])
  • transform() - perform expression to string conversion based on a picture formatting clause 
character = transform(expression as expression, picture as character)
  • val() - perform string to numeric conversion 
numeric = val(string as character)

Miscellaneous Numeric Functions

  • acos() - calculate the angle size in radians of a cosine 
numeric = acos(cosine as numeric)

numeric = asin(sine as numeric)
  • atan() - calulate the angle size of a given tangent value 
numeric = atan(tangent as numeric)
  • atn2() - calculate the angle size for the specified cosine and sine values of a given point 
numeric = atn2(cosine as numeric, sine as numeric)

  • min() - calculate the lesser of two values 
numeric = min(value1 as numeric, value2 as numeric)
  • mod() - calculate the division remainder 
numeric = mod(dividend as numeric, divisor as numeric)

numeric = percent(part as numeric, whole as numeric)
  • pi() - return the value of pi 
numeric = pi()
  • rand() - return a random number 
numeric = rand([seed as numeric])
  • round() - return a rounded numeric 
numeric = round(number as numeric [, decimals as numeric])
  • rtod() - perform radian to degree conversion 
numeric = rtod(radians as numeric)
  • sign() - return the sign of a numeric value 
numeric = sign(number as numeric)
