Simple rule to check input

Recommended Posts

Need an expression that will check if $inputrecord or number is a multiple of 50.

if true then return "BookNumberCount" (which should go up for each booklet)

Trying to do this without using stacks.

 

So every 50 ouputsheets/records, i want to print BOOK# on each top sheet... already have background templates setup. My java is not strong.

 

new to all this thanks for help...

 

var certainNumber = 50;
if ("$inputrecordnumber" % "certainNumber" === 0) {
   // directWinner is a multiple of certainNumber
}
then return "«$inputrecordnumber»" ***OR the correct name for OUTPUT COMPOSED SHEET****

If you want to print the book number on the first page of the book, then you aren't really trying to determine if the record is a multiple of 50. Record 1, 51, 101, etc aren't multiples of 50.

 

I think you want to do this:

var recsInBook = 50;
var rec = CurrentRecordNumber();
return rec % recsInBook == 1 ? 'BOOK #' + Math.ceil(rec / recsInBook) : '';
