Variable fields

Variable fields

Create a variable field to define calculations that you want to use within the Expression transformation.
The following table describes the properties you can define when you create a variable field:
Property
Description
Name
Name of the field.
Type
The data type of the field.
Precision
Total number of digits in a number. For example, the number 123.45 has a precision of 5.
The precision must be greater than or equal to 1.
You cannot specify a decimal field precision greater than 38.
Scale
Number of digits to the right of the decimal point of a number. For example, the number 123.45 has a scale of 2.
Scale must be greater than or equal to 0. The scale of a number must be less than its precision.
The scale may cause zero-filling or truncation with rounding. For example, a scale of 5 causes 123.45 to be expressed as "123.45000" while 123.456789 becomes "123.45679".
Description
Optional. Description of the field. The description can contain up to 4000 characters.
