/*create a cdt with three fields id, weekEndingDate, totalHours and then use that cdt . i have attached a workable code just you need to replace the cdt name with your created cdt. Please do null handling for ri!casualWorkSchedule*/

local!weeks: index(
ri!casualWorkSchedule,
"weeks",
{}
),
a!flatten(
a!forEach(
items: ri!casualWorkSchedule,
expression: type!cdt(
weekEndingDate: index(

Further to my question above, you may wish to know what I am attempting to do.

Basically, I need to calculate if the total hours for a week are greater than 36.75.

Already allocated hours are sourced from a view. Hours being assigned are sourced from a process variable as they are not stored until the process is completed. A warning needs to be displayed prior to the process completing for allocated hours + proposed hours > 36.75.

The total hours is already calculated in the view. The proposed hours need to be calculated by summing each (pay code hours X sessions) where the paycode and sessions are input by the user and stored in a process variable.

This is per week where there may be many weeks.

Just for some clarity on what I am trying to achieve 🙂
