Syntax
EVALUATE$(Expression$, [InpVar])
Arguments
- Expression$ is the expression to be evaluated.
- [InpVar] is an optional list of argument parameters.
- To avoid conflicts for the expression editor, use single quotes (') in Expression$ instead of the standard double quote ("). Quaestor replaces ' by " before evaluation. You are allowed to use standard functions of Queastor as well as defined parameters available in the solution.
- If parameters are not available or PENDING, EVALUATE$ returns "NullString" as result.
Examples
