MAM 7.6.1.2:

In the Database Configuration --> Add/Modify Formula Functions window, there are functions that seem like they're more advanced than the functions we normally use in formulas:



From the EXPFUNCTIONS table:

BREAK	break from a loop
CONTINUE	continue inside a loop
FOREACHMBO	for each mbo
FOREACHTOKEN	loop through each token in a string
GETVAR	get variable
INVOKESCRIPT	invoke another script
INVOKEWORKFLOW	invoke workflow
SETQBE	set qbe to a mboset variable (varname, attrname, qbeexp)

---

Question:

What is the intended purpose for those functions? Are they meant to be used in formulas, and if so, how?
What would be an example?

Thanks.

So these functions are for the MBR scripting language which is based on the formula engine.
