Resource Id: Arithmetic_Evaluation:5010
This Generic command performs an arithmetic operation on call variables. The result is then stored in a selected call variable. For non-numeric values the string can be changed using the String Manipulation option.
Setting
Description
Select Variable For Result
Select the call variable into which the result of the arithmetic calculation should be stored.
Enter Expression to Evaluate
Enter Expression to evaluate: The string entered here can include numeric values, call variables such as $KEY and the following arithmetic operators in addition to ( and ) brackets:
  • * = Multiply by.
  • / = Divide by.
  • % = Modulus (remainder after division)
  • + = Add.
  • – = Subtract.
  • ^ = Bitwise exclusive or (XOR). Does a binary comparison of the decimal inputs, returning a 1 for each bit if only one of the corresponding input bits is 1, otherwise returning 0 for the bit.
If the values being evaluated are integers (for example 123), the result will be an absolute integer value. For example 123/2 will result in 61.
If any value being evaluated is a decimal (for example 123.0), the result will be a 6 decimal place value. For example 123.0/2 will result in 61.500000.

Free Format Command: Arithmetic Evaluation

Using a Generic action, you can make voicemail perform an Arithmetic Evaluation action as a free format command. For example EVAL:$CP0=$CP1+$CP2+5, adds the current values of $CP1, $CP2 plus 5 and stores the result as $CP0.
