My First Formula
My First Formula
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm doing some maintenance on a Notes database, and I have no experience with the system. I've gotten almost everything figured out for this assignment except for one thing:
I have a formula that should return a Part Number concatenated with a date code (don't ask why... I'm dealing with a very ugly database here) like so:
102381990013
Which is read as follows:
Part 10238199 run on Julian date 001 (Jan 1) 2003.
I can access the Part Number as a string and the date as a standard date.
Here's my formula so far (doesn't work):
TBPARTNUM+(TBDATE - @Date(@Year(TBDATE);1;1))+@right(@Year(TBDATE);1)
Can anyone help me out?
TIA
Ben

RE: My First Formula
partDate := @Text(TBPARTNUM) + @Right("000"+@Text(julianDay);3) + yearDigit ;
and if TBPARTNUM is numeric then you might require the same sort of processing for it too.

RE: My First Formula
I have just one more question. I've been trying to add a leap year calculation to the field:
tmpyr:=@year(TBDATE);
If @modulo(tmpyr;4)=0 Then
If @modulo(tmpyr;100) != 0 or @modulo(tmpyr;400) = 0 Then
list := 0:31:29:31:30:31:30:31:31:30:31:30 ;
else
list := 0:31:28:31:30:31:30:31:31:30:31:30 ;
End if
else
list := 0:31:28:31:30:31:30:31:31:30:31:30 ;
End if
I can't get these comparisons to work. I got the syntax from Domino Designer help; it says something about an operator or " expected at the = sign in the first "if" statement. Can you set me straight?

I had a little trouble with the "or"; but I eventually got the "|". Here is the solution that I am using:
tmpyr:=@Year(TBDATE);
list:=@If ((@Modulo(tmpyr ;4)=0) & (@Modulo(tmpyr;100) != 0 | @Modulo(tmpyr;400) = 0) ; 0:31:29:31:30:31:30:31:31:30:31:30 ; 0:31:28:31:30:31:30:31:31:30:31:30);
priorMonths := @Subset( list ; @Month(TBDATE) ) ;
julianDay := @Sum( priorMonths : @Day(TBDATE) ) ;
yearDigit := @Right( @Text(@Year(TBDATE)) ; 1 ) ;
partDate := @Text(TBPARTNUM) + @Right("000"+@Text(julianDay);3) + yearDigit ;
partDate
The algorithm I used for leap years was found on a website somewhere; I Googled for "Leap Year Algorithm".
