Functions are used to process numeric and character string values within an expression. Input arguments specify information necessary for a function to operate. Functions return processed values to the rule for further evaluation and processing.
Functions can perform sophisticated operations. Control-M/Analyzer functions are divided into the categories described in Table 150.
