Hi Narasimha,

XI categorize the functions in two groups :-

Pre-defined and User-defined (UDF).

Help link for Pre-defined functions:-

UDF you will create depending upon your requirements. Check this weblogs for some UDF:

Simple functions :Process individual fields input values for each function call.they expect string as an inputand they return strings .

Advanced functions :Process non-single string field input values for each function call.Pass either all field values of a context or the whole queue .Here input field is passed as a string array .Return values are stored in a string array "ResultList".

Hi Narsimha !

simple functions: receive a sinple string value and return a single string value.

advanced functions: receive a string ARRAY and return a string ARRAY. They could receive the whole queue of values of the source field.
