View "Dim" Variable Values

Joseph.Lasser — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:40:53 GMT

This is likely a poor question, but is there a a way to view a list of all declared variables in a rule and their associated values? For example, please reference the script below:

Dim Test1 = 1
Dim Test2 = 2
Dim Test3 = 3
Dim Sum = Test1+Test2+Test3

Within the rule editor, would there be a way to see that the variable Sum is equal to 6?

@Joseph.Lasser i came across this post in my searches. I have a similar case but i'd like to SUM all the variables without having to do "Test 1 + Test2...etc" Is there a way of doing this in iLogic?

If you are talking about a built-in Function, like in Excel, then I do not recall one like that at the moment, but the 'List(Of t)' object has a method like that, when the Type (t) is a numeric type, such as Integer or Double. For example:

Dim Val1 As Double = 1.5 Dim Val2 As Double = 3 Dim Val3 As Double = 5.5 Dim values As New List(Of Double) From {Val1, Val2, Val3 } Dim sum As Double = values.Sum Logger.Info("Sum = " & sum.ToString())

This essentially adds all the Double type values into a new 'List of Double', then since the Type of its entries is Double, its 'Sum' extension method (a Function) is enabled, which returns the Sum of all its entries.
