ADDTOTAL and GETTOTAL Functions
This article will explain about the ADDTOTAL and GETTOTAL functions.
You can reference all available macros in this article: Windward Functions Reference.
ADDTOTAL
The ADDTOTAL function adds a given value to a name variable. If you call the function like ADDTOTAL (10,'total') it adds ten to the variable named 'total'.
This variable is NOT a template variable, and can not be accessed through any other function or tag.
ADDTOTAL does not return any data, so if you use it in an Out tag the tag will be hidden in the output.
To show the current value of the variable, use the GETTOTAL function with the name of the variable you want to show, e.g. GETTOTAL ('total').
