ST or TABLE Using brackets a specific entry can be manually specified instead This allows LIST and TABLE objects to be used as convenient storage objects for lists of numbers used in calculations The brackets should immediately follow the object name with the index value enclosed by the brackets For example Gchoice 1 choice 2 choice 3 reference the first three items in a LIST named choice Interestingly choice choice is equivalent to choice 29 Parameters Sometimes it is useful to re use a mathematical expression defined in a referenced MATH object but with one or two of the numbers changed from use to use In these instances curly braces can be used to pass extra values into the MATH object to be used in evaluating the expression In the referencing MATH object curly braces are added after the referenced object name containing one or more values separated by columns The values are then read from within the referenced MATH object using the special symbols 1 2 etc For instance if a math object called calc_tax contains the following formula rate 100 1 subtotal TEXT 2 100 1 1 lt can be used to calculate the totals for different subtotal tax combinations TEXT calc_tax 21 95 6 5 Notes Parameters can only be used in undisplayed referenced objects As these objects expect and use parameters they must be hidden using a blank PAGES tag as thei
