Description

Calls a global function given the name with FileMaker values.
Parameters are passed to the function. Please pass as many parameters in FileMaker as needed.
Numbers are passed as number and other values are passed as text.
If the function needs more parameter, undefined values are used to fill up.
If the function needs less parameters, additional ones are dropped.

Returns the result of the function converted to FileMaker, e.g. as text or number value.

If you like to use JSON instead, please put in properties or pass JSON as string and let JavaScript decode it as part of the function.

This function takes variable number of parameters. Pass as much parameters as needed separated by the semicolon in FileMaker.
Please repeat Parameters parameter as often as you need.
