$P - Parameter #

Parameters are number amounts, character strings, Boolean values, or date values that are passed automatically to Functions and Qualifications UserCalcs. (The number and types of parameters that are passed to a Function or Qualifier may differ depending on the calling program or application.)

Parameters are exclusively used in the Benefit or Attendance applications as Functions or Qualifiers.

Statement:If the employee has worked 2000 hours in the current year, award the employee the full entitlement - $200. If the employee has worked more than 1040 hours in the current year, award the employee 50% of the entitlement. Otherwise, award the employee 20% of the entitlement.

In the example below, the UserCalc will operate as such:

Line 00010Captures the value of the entitlement, $200
Line 00100Checks if the employee worked more than 2000 hours.
If so, the UserCalc goes to Line 99999 which returns a value of the full amount of the entitlement, $200.
If not, the UserCalc goes to Line 00200
Line 00200Checks to see if the employee worked more than 1040 hours.
If so, the UserCalc goes to Line 00300 to calculate 50% of the entitlement. $200 x .50 = $100
If not, the UserCalc goes to Line 00400 to calculate 20% of the entitlement. $200 x .20 = $40
Line 00300 & 00400Once the calculation is complete in these lines, the UserCalc goes to Line 99999 to return the appropriate value.
