maxc()

Function group Execute on client Platform(s)
List NO All

Syntax

maxc(listname,column[,ignore-nulls])

Description

Returns the maximum value for a list column specified by listname and column. maxc() can only be used with columns defined using variables so it cannot be used with lists defined from a SQL class.

If you set ignore_nulls to 1, null values are ignored and not counted. If you omit this parameter or it evaluates to zero, nulls are treated as zero values and are counted.

Example

Calculate lMax as  maxc(lInventory,lQuantity)
# returns the maximum value in the lQuantity column of lInventory
