Chapter 6 Expression Evaluation
MPE XL provides you with an online calculator. This powerful expression
evaluator evaluates whole numbers, strings, TRUE/FALSE (Boolean)
expressions, and supports a rich set of functions. A full list of the
expression evaluator functions can be found in
appendix B of the MPE XL Commands Reference Manual (32650-90003).
* Lessons 1, 2, 3, and 4 discuss the five MPE XL commands that permit
implicit expression evaluation: CALC, SETVAR, IF, ELSEIF, and WHILE.
Lessons 3 and 4 require knowledge of programming.
* Lesson 5 introduces you to the MPE XL syntax that allows for
expression evaluation and value substitution to occur at the user's
discretion.
