Returns the minimum value of the element in the set. This function supports only the Gregorian calendar. Returns the current time in the given locale and timezone. Returns the current date in 'yyyy-MM-dd' format in the given locale and timezone. See Displaying the System Date (sysdate) in Reports for information on properly formatting the sysdate in report output. The datatype of the returned value is DATE. SYSDATE returns the current date and time in XML canonical date format (for example: T19:20:30.45+01:00). Reads date in one format and creates in another format. Use the TO_CHAR function to translate a value of NUMBER datatype to VARCHAR2 datatype. Returns a number formatted with the specified pattern. For example:Д¬onverts a number to a string and uses the specified separators: s1 for the thousand separator and s2 for the decimal separator. All occurrences of string_to_replace will be replaced with replacement_string in string1.ДЇunction to_number converts char, a value of CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, or NVARCHAR2 datatype containing a number in the format specified by the optional format model fmt, to a value of NUMBER datatype.Д¬onverts a number to a string and formats the number according to the locale specified in $_XDOLOCALE and to the number of decimal positions specified in n using Java's default symbols. String_to_replace is the string that will be searched for in string1. String1 is the string to replace a sequence of characters with another set of characters. The replace function replaces a sequence of characters in a string with another set of characters. The syntax is left(string, Numchars)Д®nables you to extract the specified number of characters from a string, starting from the right. Length is the number of characters to extract.Д®nables you to extract the specified number of characters from a string, starting from the left. The first position in the string is always 1. Start_position is the position for extraction. The substr function allows you to extract a substring from a string. Nth appearance is the nth appearance of string2. If the start_position is negative, the function counts back start_position number of characters from the end of string1 and then searches towards the beginning of string1. Start_position is the position in string1 where the search will start. String2 is the substring to search for in string1. The instr function returns the location of a substring in a string. Result is the value returned, if expression is equal to search.Дefault is returned if no matches are found. Search is the value that is compared against expression. The syntax for the decode function is:Дecode(expression, search, result. The decode function has the functionality of an IF-THEN-ELSE statement. The replicate function will replicate the specified string the specified number of times. integer can be negative to truncate values left of the decimal point. If integer is omitted, then number is truncated to the whole integer value. The truncate function returns number truncated to integer places right of the decimal point. Removes the trailing white spaces in a string. Removes the leading white spaces in a string. Enter the text to be trimmed, the function returns the trimmed text. Pad_string is the string that will be padded to the right-hand side of string1 trim() String1 is the string to pad characters to (the right-hand side). The rpad function pads the right side of a string with a specific set of characters. Pad_string is the string that will be padded to the left-hand side of string1. Padded_length is the number of characters to return. String1 is the string to pad characters to (the left-hand side). The lpad function pads the left side of a string with a specific set of characters. Num1 is the dividend num2 is the divisor and string is the value to be returned if NaN is returned. Safe divide function returns a specified value if the result of the function is NaN. The supported functions are shown in the following table: SQL Statement or XSL Expression For example, assume you had two elements, FIRST_NAME and LAST_NAME that you wanted to concatenate into a 30-character field and right pad the field with the character 'x', you could NOT use the following:Д«ecause concat is an XSL expression. Note: You cannot mix xdofx statements with XSL expressions in the same context. The syntax for these extended functions is This appendix covers the following topics:Д«I Publisher has extended a set of SQL and XSL functions for use in RTF templates.
