Percentage Of

Hi all

 

In my SUT, the screen I am working on has two fields 1) Fund Value & 2) Tax Free Cash Limit

 

Now, the value in field 2 (tax free cash limit) is 25% of the value in field 1 (fund value).

 

Can anyone please advise how do I validate through property checkpoint or any other means that value in field 2 is 25% of value in field 1.  Your help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Gary

    That was implied... the code expression can use the Alias mapping of your object including the property name.  So, where I have <value of field1> You could have

     

    Aliases.MyApp.MyForm.Field1.wText

     

    And this will then pull in the property value.

    You will need to use a code expression, no matter if you use a property checkpoint or whatever. 

     

    Basically, you're going to do a checkpoint where you're going to check the property of field two and see if it equals a code expression... something like

     

    aqConvert.VarToStr(<value of field 1> * 0.25)

     

    You might need to add additional code that would round to th nearest cent or something but tht would be the direction I take

      Thank you for your inputs.

       

      Just to mention that the <value of field1> here is not static. It changes constantly so I was wondering if there is any way I can first get the value from field one and then calculate the percentage on the back of that value ?

       

      Thanks
