what symbol do you use for multiplication?

I'm not familiar with LiveCycle, but almost every program I'm familiar with that can run calculations usually uses the asterisk (*) to represent multiplication. I'd give that a try if you haven't already.

Ryan is probablyl right (well, duh), but I found this on a discussion forum to backup his guess:

this.rawValue = GW1.rawValue * GWPercent1.rawValue

Good luck!

this.rawValue = GW1.rawValue * GWPercent1.rawValue

Thank you both. I have tried the *, without success. The rawValue is correct terminology for this, but I'm unfamiliar with the rest of the formula. I will give it a try in the am.

I may have to examine the rest of the equation better. I do appreciate your help.

I don't think the equation itself is meaningful but it looked like multiplication. I just Googled "livecycle equation" or something like that.

I got it.
I decided it was in my equation. I had 27 lines of addition, then this total to be multiplied by a variable rate to form my total figure. I forgot to put parentheses around all the addition calculations prior to multiplying with the variable.
Basic fifth grade math, duh. Thanks again.
