Hi Nag,

Here is the Information for your request as follows.

<u>1. Simple UserDefined Function:</u>

Simple functions, which can process individual field input values for each function call. Simple functions, therefore, expect strings as input values and return a string.

<u>2. Advanced User Defined Function:</u>

Advanced functions, which can process non–single string field input values for each function call. You can pass either all field values of a context or the whole queue for the field in an array when calling the function. Each input field is passed as an array of String. Returned values are stored in a String array, ResultList.

Hi Nagammaiah,

There are 2 types of UDF's....

1)Simple UDF....can process individual field input values for each function call

2)Advanced....can process multiple field input values for each function call

Simple UDFs are UDFs of type Value, where you manipulate only one value (input is one String).

Advanced UDFs are of types Context or Queue, where you manipulate many values (input is an array of Strings).
