Derivation expressions provide the ability to translate values or to retrieve information otherwise not accessible in an interface format in [IDIF]. Data from within the [{$applicationname}] database may need to be translated to match the requirements from a receiving third party system. Also, data within a source file may need to be translated to match the [{$applicationname}] specifications.

Inbound interfaces provide the ability to load a source file into ePersonality; this is done by running [LMTD]. The [LMTD] allows you to apply derivation expressions to variables within the record that is being loaded.

!IDIF - Derivation Expression - P2K Internal Functions
You have the ability to call some P2K internal functions in the derivation expression under the guidance of a consultant. The following example is for UPPHF Payroll History interface and is used to demonstrate the Derivation Expression only. In this example, the Element value of 'HOURS COMP TIME' will be returned for the Variable Name 'Pay Header pph_id'.

!IDIF - Derivation Expression - P2K Internal Functions with Parameters
You have the ability to call some P2K internal functions in the derivation expression under the guidance of a consultant and pass the following internal parameters in order to perform some internal calculation:
One example of doing this is for the [UPPHF] Payroll History interface. In this example, the Hours Comp Time Amount field is defined with the Variable Name 'Pay Header pph_id' and with a derivation Expression of:
;: P2K_PPAMTS.SPELPAY(~,P2K.PPAMTS.SPGETPEL('HOURS COMP TIME'))
The derivation expression will return the Element value of 'HOURS COMP TIME'.
The above example can also be achieved by setting up a variable name of 'Element pph
Value' with the element code specified in the Constant Value field.
!Internal Functions with Parameters

!IDIF - Call UserCalc Function
You can call the UserCalc function at each Record Number and each Field Number. You should set up the variable name to be 'User Calc', and specify the UserCalc name in the Constant Value field.
;:Example:
;:The 'Prorate Element' Field Name is defined with the Varibale Name of elemnt PC Value with a Derivation Expression of:
;:~/P2K_PPAMTS.SPELPAY(#PPH_ID#,P2K-PPAMTS.SPGETPEL('HOURS O/T'))*P2K_PPAMTS.SPELPAY(#PPH_ID#,P2K_PPAMTS.SPGETPEL('HOURS COMPE TIME'))
!Call UserCalc Function
You can call the [UserCalc|USERCALC] function at each Record Number and each Field Number. You should set up the variable name to be 'User Calc', and specify the [UserCalc|USERCALC] name in the Constant Value field.
