On the

Helper Code

or

On Input Row

code entry tab, create an instance of JExprParamMetadata class for each

parameter

for the expression and set the value of the metadata. Optionally, you can instantiate the JExprParamMetadata object in the defineJExpression method.

Use the defineJExpression method to get the JExpression object for the expression.

On the appropriate code entry tab, invoke the expression with the invokeJExpression method.

Check the result of the return value with the isResultNull method.

You can get the datatype of the return value or the metadata of the return value with the getResultDataType and getResultMetadata methods.

Get the result of the expression by using the appropriate API method. You can use the getInt, getDouble, getStringBuffer, and getBytes methods.
