Description
The Boolean macro is used to insert boolean data (True/False) into the string generated with the Custom String generator.
The macro is an analogue of the Boolean data generator.
Syntax
The macro has the following syntax:
%BOOL(ValueFormat, *xN)
Parameters
ValueFormat
Specifies the format of the generated data. The parameter can be one of the following values:
- True/False (default)
- Yes/No
- 1/0
If you specify any other value, the macro will use the default parameter value - True/False.
The values are case-insensitive.
*xN
Optional parameter. Specifies the number of possible repetitions of each value in series of generated strings. N is a positive number that specifies the number of repetitions: 1, 2, 3, and so on. The default parameter value is *x1 (no repetitions).
Examples
The following examples demonstrate how to use the Boolean macro:
-
%BOOL(True/False)
Generates True or False.
-
%BOOL(1/0, *x3)
Generates 1 or 0 and repeats the generated value 3 times in a sequence of generated custom strings.
-
%BOOL(YES/NO)
Generates Yes or No (the values are case-insensitive).
-
%BOOL(False/True) <— Invalid value
This value is not supported. The macro will use the default value, True/False, and will generate True or False.
