IDEAScript Questions

I wrote a function that iterates through a database and returns true if a string is found and false if it is not found.
 I inserted the string into code as indicated below to apply an eqn to a field.
 
If StringExists("PayElements-SpecialPay","ELEMENT",rec.GetCharValue("ELEMENT_NAME")) field.Equation = "XXXXXX"Elsefield.Equation = "YYYYYY"End If

Thanks for the help

Hi Brian,
 
It's been quite a while since I've had a question and I hope all has been well with you and yours over the last couple of crazy years.
 
I'm currently working on a script and I have a question on using visual connector.

Default state:

Im trying to create a new column   ("FILE ID")    that contains a value from another one. I want this value to be repeated by "Codigo". Everytime "Codigo" changes, The "FILE ID" column must have the new FILE ID. This value can be repeated, and "Codigo" can be repeated too.

Hi!
 
I am working on a function that would validate dates. I am aware of IsDate(), but it doesn't really suit my use case as it only accepts Date types and the two inbuilt conversion functions DateSerial and DateValue, will convert invalid dates into valid dates, by addding the excess months and days into years ( for example 01.13.2020 becomes 01.01.2021). Therefore i am writing my own implementation. 
As part of this i have a funciton that strips the string into day, month and year and converts them to integers:
