Expression Array Builder

The Expression Array Builder dialog box helps you develop an expression for each element in an array.

To access the Expression Array Builder dialog box, click Expression Builder in an expression field where you are defining the values for an array item. For example, you can access the Expression Array Builder in the Workflow Properties dialog box, on the Data Fields tab under Expressions when the selected field is defined as an array.

To specify the values for each element in an array

In the Expression Array Builder, there are two ways that you can specify the number of elements for the array, and the expression for each element:

• To add elements one by one, click Array Elements, then click Add. Click in the expression field to specify the value for that element. To add another element, click Add again.

  For assistance in specifying the expression, click Expression Builder to the right of the expression field to access the Expression Builder dialog box.

• To enter the values for all elements, click Expression, then enter the values for all elements in the array. For example, to enter literal values for a three element array of data type integer, enter the following:

  (123, 45, 6789)

  You can also use data fields as values in the array. Click Expression Builder to the right of the expression field to access the Expression Builder dialog box.
