Method Fields

You can use method fields as named calls to a specified method with specified parameters in your scripts. Method parameters are literal or report parameter values only (that is, they cannot be database features) that have been created previously. In the following image, the Method Fields category has been expanded and shows an example method field that has been used elsewhere in this guide. The price method field has been selected and is subsequently displayed in the Script Code sheet.

Method fields are designated by the pound or hash sign (#) prefix and the brace symbols (that is, the { and } symbols, sometimes know as curly brackets) that enclose them, as shown in the example.

{#price}

For details about creating method fields, see "Using the Methods Sheet" under "Using the Catalog of Available Fields Dialog", in Chapter 4.
