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.

You have the ability to call some [{$applicationname}] 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'.

!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.
