if A+B>C then A+B=C

[Wissam5FBB]

Hello, 

could you please help me to script the following in a pdf form:

if A+B>10 then A+B=10

Thanks

Hi,

It would help if we knew the names of the fields you are trying to use ( I will assume they are called 'A', 'C', with the total going into 'C'

var fieldA = this.getField("A");
var fieldB = this.getField("B"):

var total= fieldA.value + fieldB.value;

if ( total > 10 ) {
    total = 10;
}

this.getField("C").value = total;

 This code could be added to the validation of 'A' and 'B', which would mean it would be run everytime the values changed.

Hope this helps.

edit - to fix typo.

The line that reads:

var total= fieldA.value + fieldB+value;

should be

var total= fieldA.value + fieldB.value;

A common typo we all make

Thanks Malcolm,

How to add a line to remove any trailing zero from the end of the result?

[Asim123]

Format field as number.

[Wissam5FBB]

If I format as (None), no trailing zero will appear.

But if I want to allow for 2 decimels without a trailing zero, I think a script has to be added to remove the trailing zero.

(I am a learner and beginner, please bear with me)

Thanks

So you wan't if result is 2.22 to show like that but if result is 2.00 to just show 2?

[Wissam5FBB]

correct

Hi, try this code and see if it is what you wanted:

var a = this.getField("A").value;
var b = this.getField("B").value;
var x = a+b;
var x1 = x.toFixed(2);
var x2 = x1.replace(".00", "");
event.value = x2;
if( x2 > 10 ){
x2 = 10;
}
event.value = x2;

Don't format field, leave it at "None".
