making custom calculation script.

[looknbcool]

Hello,

I have no javascript experience at all; I need to create a Custom Calculation Script on my .pdf form to get it to do what I want.

i have ten field created that are named;

DIAL DOWN LESS 24,

DIAL UP LESS 24,

RATE 3H,

RATE 6H,

RATE 9H,

RATE FULLWIND,

RATE FULLWIND1,

RATE FULLWIND2,

RATE FULLWIND3,

RATE FULLWIND4

every field may have diferent value, negative or positive. its depence on the input;

example:

+1

-2

+3

+4

+1

+3

+1

+2

+1

+2

now what i want to get the result, is the variation of the minimum and the maximum of ten field:

from this example input is; minimum is -2 and the maximum is  +4, the result should be 6. no positve or negative sign

example: +1 and +3 =  2

                -4 and -1 =  3

                -4 and +3 = 7

                 0 and +4 = 4

                -4 and  0  =  4

If anyone can assist in helping me create a working Custom calculation script, it would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance.

You can use this code as the custom calculation script of your total field:

var fields = ["DIAL DOWN LESS 24", "DIAL UP LESS 24", "RATE 3H", "RATE 6H", "RATE 9H", "RATE FULLWIND", "RATE FULLWIND1", "RATE FULLWIND2", "RATE FULLWIND3", "RATE FULLWIND4"];
var values = [];
for (var i in fields) {
	var f = this.getField(fields[i]);
	var v = Number(f.valueAsString);
	values.push(v);
}
values.sort(function(a, b){return a - b});
var minValue = values[0];
var maxValue = values[values.length-1];
event.value = maxValue-minValue;

Scripts are generally not supported on mobile devices, sorry.
