Formulas generated from QuickPaint do not include conditional logic or calculations. You may want to add these features, for example to sum up compensation elements or to report different data for different assignments.

Attention: If you want to add features to a generated QuickPaint formula, you must copy the formula and edit the copy. If you edit the original, your edits will be overwritten if the formula is regenerated from the QuickPaint definition.

Example

LINE01=''
LINE02=' Pay Items      Value this Period
LINE03=''
LINE04=' Salary Value : ' + TO_TEXT(trunc((SALARY_ANNUAL/12),2))
LINE05=' Item 1 Value : ' + TO_TEXT(ITEM_1_PAY_VALUE)
LINE06=' Item 2 Value : ' + TO_TEXT(ITEM_2_PAY_VALUE)
LINE07=' Bonus Value  : ' + TO_TEXT(BONUS_AMOUNT)
LINE08='                __________________'
LINE09='        Total : '+ TO_TEXT(trunc((
(SALARY_ANNUAL/12)+ITEM_1_PAY_VALUE+ITEM_2_PAY_VALUE+BONUS_AMOUNT),2))
LINE10=''
LINE11=''
LINE12=''
RETURN LINE01, LINE02, LINE03, LINE04, LINE05, LINE06, LINE07, 
       LINE08, LINE09, LINE10, LINE11, LINE12,
