Error in QlikView Reference Manual: Dollar-Sign Expansion with Parameters

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:48:32 GMT

Hi,

I found error in QlikView Reference Manual (Version 11.2 for Microsoft Windows, Lund, Sweden, December 2012).

Manual says:

set MUL=’$1*$2’;
set X=$(MUL(3,7)); // returns '3*7' in X
let X=$(MUL(3,7)); // returns 21 in X -- No, here is error!

set MUL=’$1*$2’;

set X=$(MUL); // returns '$1*$2' in X
set X=$(MUL(10)); // returns '10*$2' in X
let X=$(MUL(5,7,8)); // returns 35 in X -- No, here is error!

But the correct statement of MUL variable define is this:

set MUL=$1*$2; // WITHOUT APOSTROPHES

Regards,

Mirek
