Param.PhoneNumber

#8[Phone #:
7-10]

#85000

If the value of the Phone # field in the current business component is 6505065000, then macro expansion extracts the seventh through tenth digits of the phone number. The characters #8 prefix the result.

Because no keyword is specified, the Number part is assumed, and the country code and extension are excluded.

Because the macro-expansion characters representing the phone number are enclosed in brackets, this Phone # field can be in a dialog box or in the current business component.

Param.PhoneNumber

{Phone #:
Number:6-10}

75000

Assume the same value for the Phone # field as in the previous example. Macro expansion extracts the sixth through tenth digits of the phone number.

In this example, the Number keyword is explicitly specified.

Because the macro-expansion characters representing the phone number are enclosed in braces, this Phone # field cannot be in a dialog box.

Param.GetId

{Id}

10-CSAE

If the Id field for a record in the current business component is 10-CSAE, then macro expansion yields this string as the result.

Param.Greet

\{Hi\}

{Hi}

The backslashes allow the braces to be included literally as part of the result. As a result, Hi is not interpreted as a field name.

Param.ExtField

{Extension}

5000

For a field called Extension, macro expansion extracts the value of this field, for example, 5000.

Because the Extension field is not of type DTYPE_PHONE, you cannot use keywords to specify a phone number part to extract.

Param.Ext

{Work Phone #:
Extension}

6000

If the value of the Work Phone # field of the current business component (for example, Contacts) is (650)5065000 x6000 for a U.S. phone number and extension, then only the extension number after the x is extracted.

Param.PhoneNumber

{Work Phone #:
Lookup}

phone
num

Macro expansion generates a phone number based on applying the dialing filters to the data in the Work Phone # field of the current business component.

Param.PhoneNumber

{@Phone:
PhoneTypeLookup}

phone
num

Macro expansion generates a phone number based on the logic described for the @Phone macro, in Macros for Parameter Values.

Dialing filters are applied only if a field is of type DTYPE_PHONE.
