The fails one:
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength=Cint(strLength)
resnamecheck=Evaluate({@Adjust(@Now;0;0;0;intLength;0;0)},doc)

The workaround:
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength=Cint(strLength)
doc.intLength=intLength <– he added the variable inside the doc
resnamecheck=Evaluate({@Adjust(@Now;0;0;0;intLength;0;0)},doc)

Can you point out it out please? Thanks @workaround

Hi, I’m missing the difference between what you said failed and your suggested workaround code. Can you point out it out please? Thanks

Dim Doc As NotesDocument Set doc = db.CreateDocument ‘more code… Dim intLength As Integer intLength=Cint(strLength) doc.intLength=intLength resnamecheck=Evaluate({@Adjust(@Now;0;0;0;intLength;0;0)},doc) basically put the variable inside doc and it will work.. This shows how to use a Lotus variable in evaluate and get around the limitation (please remove previous post) The following fails
Dim Doc As NotesDocument
Set doc = db.CreateDocument
‘ … more code to do something
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength=Cint(strLength)
resnamecheck=Evaluate({@Adjust(@Now;0;0;0;intLength;0;0)},doc)

here’s a workaround..

Dim Doc As NotesDocument
Set doc = db.CreateDocument
‘more code…
Dim intLength As Integer
intLength=Cint(strLength)
doc.intLength=intLength
resnamecheck=Evaluate({@Adjust(@Now;0;0;0;intLength;0;0)},doc)

basically put the variable inside doc and it will work..

I try to avoid many lines of Formula, because it difficult to read and not structured. But, Formula have many method that Lotus Script do not have, like @Implode and @Explode. Even we can write our ownLotus Script function to do that, it just a waste of time and energy. But, we have Evaluate in Lotus Script. Evaluate function is one of many of my favorite functions, because it able to run Formula and than pass the result of that Formula intoLotus Script variable (variant). This is the syntax of Evaluate variant = notesSession.Evaluate( formula$, doc ) We can use Evaluate function to pass the result from any kind of Formula, from simple formula like @UserName to more complex formula like @Implode. Recently, I use Evaluate in my program, to shorten the length of theLotus Script. I need to calculate the difference in days between two date, but only in business days ( so saturday and sunday will not be counted also holidays). Formula already have the function to calculate that, so I don’t need to create another lengthly Lotus Scriptfunction just to calculate that. I use the formula instead, so I need the Evaluate function. varDay=Evaluate(”@BusinessDays(@Date(datFinal);@Date(@Now);1;datPublicHoliday)”,doc) Remember that Evaluate function return value is variant. With Evaluate, Formula and Lotus Script can coexist together. Download Free Article Spinner Thanks.
