     ($V{strloanNo}).divide($V{loanCalculation})

i need to divide both the variables but i am not getting expected result. it is displaying "null" value .

any idea guys?

Answer 1

$V{x}.divide( $V{y} )

This works for me.

It looks like your variables are Null.

Make sure to set the Initial Value Expression in the variable's properties.

I set both of mine to below.

new java.math.BigDecimal(10.0)

Answer 2

Guess you can try this out -

$V{strloanNo}.floatValue()/$V{loanCalculation}.floatValue()
