Function Library Reference

Home Prev Top Next

This reference section describes the MapForce built-in functions available in the Libraries window. The functions are organized by library. The availability of function libraries in the Libraries window depends on the transformation language you choose for your mapping. To find out more about the list of available transformation languages, see this topic.
