The Evaluate component can support dotted identifiers for table names as part of the identifier name. For example:

VDATA.Q1 + VDATA.RATING[{DINOSAUR}].GRID1

The dot character has a special meaning as part of regular identifiers.

Function calls

The dot character can be used to make function calls for named identifiers. The dot in this instance is interpreted as a bound identifier, followed by a function. Some examples are shown in the following table.

Dotted function call	Resolved function call
Q1.AnswerCount()	AnswerCount(Q1)
age.ContainsAny( {1,2,5})	ContainsAny(age, {1,2,5})
VDATA.RATING[{FISH}].GRID1.AnswerCount()	AnswerCount(VDATA.RATING[{FISH}].GRID1)

Function calls can be made using either convention. The parser also supports a mix of the function call conventions.

Function call	Resolved function call
Q1.Find(Q2.Left(3))	Find(Q1, Left(Q2, 3))
