Description of the code-value.
Optionally you can enter minimum and maximum values for VCG, LCG and
TCG. This may be applicable for area codes. You also can enter a Factor and
UnitWeight for the code.
Back in the Item-dialog, the dropdown-list of the code now includes the new
code-value.
4.11.3 Calculated codes
The value of a code can either be input from the user or calculated. If a code
is to be calculated, the calculation rule must be defined in the ‘Calculate’ field
in the Code Definition dialog.
When defining a calculation rule, you can use any numerical database field for
a weight item. Please note that database field names must be written in
brackets, e.g. the database field ‘Weight’ must be written [Weight]. The
following database fields can be included:
[Weight] [VCG_min] [NoOff]
[VCG] [VCG_max] [Factor]
[LCG] [LCG_min] [Length]
[TCG] [LCG_max] [Width]
[C01] to [C99] [TCG_min] [UnitWeight]
[TCG_max]
The database fields [NoOff], [Factor], [Length], [Width] and [UnitWeight]
correspond to Quantity 1 to Quantity 5. These are defined in the Optionsdialog
window. When including one of these quantities in a calculation
formula, please refer to its default title:
Quantity 1 = [NoOff]
