Math operators with tags

[pcottrell]

Here is a simple question which is causing me grief...

What is the correct syntax for combining tags with simple operations?

for ex: -Skip=[FMP-CurrentRecordNumber]-1

The "-1" seems to be read as text and ignored...

Any help will of course be appreciated...

You could try:

-Skip=<script>document.write([FMP-CurrentRecordNumber]-1);</script>

or

-Skip=[FMP-CurrentRecordNumber-1]

I havn't tested these, however the first one should work.

All the best.

You cannot use calc in URL/CDML tags. Do it in database.
