Overview
This plugin supports running simple mathematical functions such as sum, product, and quotient with numbers larger than Appian Integer and Decimal data types support.
Key Features & FunctionalityFunctions:
bigpow - returns the power of a number by an exponent to the specified number of places after the decimal point.
FYI if you ever find yourself needed to add validation on an a!textField for whether the user input is a valid number, this function accomplishes that:
if( a!isnullorempty(ri!input), true, regexmatch("^-?\d+(\.\d+)?$", ri!input) )
We were having trouble figuring out how to prevent a save in case the user input a non-number into our field that was saving big numbers.
