* Multiplication operator

Multiplies two numeric expressions.

Syntax 

 

expression * expression

expression

An expression with a numeric value.

Example 

This procedure computes the value of the on-hand inventory for each item. If the on-hand inventory is negative, the procedure sets the inventory value to 0.

 

r-mult.p

DEFINE VARIABLE inv-value AS DECIMAL NO-UNDO LABEL "VALUE".   FOR EACH Item NO-LOCK:   inv-value = Item.OnHand * Item.Price.   IF inv-value < 0 THEN     inv-value = 0.   DISPLAY Item.ItemNum Item.ItemName Item.OnHand Item.Price inv-value. END.

Note 

Multiplying two decimal expressions produces a DECIMAL value. Multiplying two INTEGER expressions produces an INTEGER value. Multiplying two INT64 expressions produces an INT64 value. Multiplying an integer expression (INTEGER or INT64) and a decimal expression produces a DECIMAL value. Multiplying an INTEGER expression and an INT64 expression produces an INT64 value.
