Name | Description |
---|---|
Abs(Decimal) | Returns the absolute value (unsigned magnitude) of the decimal number 'n'. |
Mod(Decimal, Decimal) | Returns the remainder of decimal division of 'n' by 'm'. |
Power(Decimal, Decimal) | Returns 'n' raised to the power of 'm'. |
Round(Decimal, Integer) | Returns the Decimal number 'n' rounded to a specific number of 'fractional digits'. The round method applied depends on where the function is used: - In expressions in client-side and server-side logic, applies the method round half to even (rounds to the nearest integer, 0.5 rounds to the nearest even integer). - In aggregates that query SQL Server or Oracle databases, applies the method round half away from 0 (rounds to the nearest integer, 0.5 rounds the number further away from 0). - In aggregates that query MySQL or iDB2 databases, applies the method round half up (rounds to the nearest integer, 0.5 rounds up). |
Sqrt(Decimal) | Returns the square root of the Decimal number 'n'. |
Trunc(Decimal) | Returns the Decimal number 'n' truncated to integer removing the decimal part of 'n'. |

Round
Returns the Decimal number 'n' rounded to a specific number of 'fractional digits'.
The round method applied depends on where the function is used:
- In expressions in client-side and server-side logic, applies the method round half to even (rounds to the nearest integer, 0.5 rounds to the nearest even integer).
- In aggregates that query SQL Server or Oracle databases, applies the method round half away from 0 (rounds to the nearest integer, 0.5 rounds the number further away from 0).
- In aggregates that query MySQL or iDB2 databases, applies the method round half up (rounds to the nearest integer, 0.5 rounds up).
Available in:
- Server-side logic: Yes
- Client-side logic: Yes
- Database: Can be used with attributes in aggregates.
- Local Storage: Can be used with attributes in aggregates.
Parameters
- n
- Type: Decimal. Mandatory.

- Type: Integer.
Use it to specify the number of fractional digits that n has to be rounded to. The default value is 0. Note: In aggregates this parameter is not specified.
Output
Type: Decimal
Examples
When used in expressions in client-side and server-side logic:
Round(-10.89) = -11
