Function $$ LocaleString

Syntax $ $LocaleString : <string>

Return Value Unicode string

Remarks Accepts a string parameter and returns unicode string. This is to provide multi -lingual support to Tally Checks whether the Field value of the <Field> is equal to the < ExpC> Example : $ $ IsVchTypeOfFamily: $ VoucherTypeName : "Payment " Remarks : The function $ $IsVchTypeOfFamily returns true if the Field-value of $VoucherTypeName is "Payment" Returns the Date as per your computer system settings

$$ IsVchTypeOf Family

$ $IsVchTypeOfFamily :<VoucherTypeName>

Logical

$$ MachineDate

$ $MachineDate

Date

Example :Select $ $MachineDate from Company Returns the Time as per your computer system settings

$$ MachineTime

$ $MachineTime

String

Example :Select $ $MachineTime from Company Returns the Miniimum value. The parameter type can be Numeric , Date or String Example :$ $ Max:100:15 returns 100 Returns the Miniimum value. The parameter type can be Numeric , Date or String Example :$ $ Min:100:15 returns 15 Returns the ending date of the specified month.

$$ Max

$ $Max : <Expression>

Same as parameter type

$$ Min

$ $Min : <Expression>

Same as parameter type

$$ MonthEnd

$ $MonthEnd: < ExpD>

Date

Example :Select $ $MonthEnd:$ $ MachineDate from Company Returns the Month (example 12) of the specified date

$$ MonthOfDate

$ $MonthOfDate :<ExpD >

Numeric

Example :Select $ $MonthOfDate :$ $MachineDate from Company Returns the starting date of the specified month.

$$ MonthStart

$ $MonthStart : <ExpD >

Date

Example :Select $ $MonthStart :$ $MachineDate from Company $ $ Round function is used to round-off a value Example :$ $ Round : 125.72 : 0. 10 returns 125.70 $ $ Round function is used to round-off a value Example :$ $ Round : 125.72 : 0. 10 returns 125.70 $ $ Round function is used to round-off a value Example :$ $ Round : 125.72 : 0. 10 returns 125.80 Returns the number of companies currently open in Tally Software.

You can test check the TDL functions by writing TDL code or by using WRAPPER.EXE provided with RTSlink DLL . STEPS for using WRAPPER.EXE to try out the TDL functions:1) Create a plain text file (say SQL1.TXT) using notepad which contains the following text :-

SELECT

$$Max :100 :15

from Company

2) Save the file in C:\RTSlink folder . 3) Go to DOS prompt and change to C:\RTSlink folder . (It is assumed that you have already downloaded and installed RTSlink DLL) 4) Type the following command:-

Wrapper

<FileName>

/SQL

5) This will generate response in a file named RESPONSE .LOG
