Variable javascripts will not work properly in Reader

[tarah31605175]

I have named the variable/script: DateNumberToDay

Essentially if you enter 1 - 31 it will change the number to 1st, 2nd, 3rd.... as in the 1st day of September....

The below script works in one of the other forms correctly but not in the this form for some reason. I even copied and retyped everything change field names etc... still not working.  Any suggestions?

Here is the script:

DateNumberToDay(oField)

(oField.rawValue == 1 | oField.rawValue == 01)

= "1st";

(oField.rawValue == 2 | oField.rawValue == 02)

= "2nd";

(oField.rawValue == 3 | oField.rawValue == 03)

= "3rd";

(oField.rawValue == 4 | oField.rawValue == 04)

= "4th";

(oField.rawValue == 5 | oField.rawValue == 05)

= "5th";

(oField.rawValue == 6 | oField.rawValue == 06)

= "6th";

(oField.rawValue == 7 | oField.rawValue == 07)

= "7th";

(oField.rawValue == 8 | oField.rawValue == 08)

= "8th";

(oField.rawValue == 9 | oField.rawValue == 09)

= "9th";

(oField.rawValue == 10)

= "10th";

(oField.rawValue == 11)

= "11th";

(oField.rawValue == 12)

= "12th";

(oField.rawValue == 13)

= "13th";

(oField.rawValue == 14)

= "14th";

(oField.rawValue == 15)

= "15th";

(oField.rawValue == 16)

= "16th";

(oField.rawValue == 17)

= "17th";

(oField.rawValue == 18)

= "18th";

(oField.rawValue == 19)

= "19th";

(oField.rawValue == 20)

= "20th";

(oField.rawValue == 21)

= "21st";

(oField.rawValue == 22)

= "22nd";

(oField.rawValue == 23)

= "23rd";

(oField.rawValue == 24)

= "24th";

(oField.rawValue == 25)

= "25th";

(oField.rawValue == 26)

= "26th";

(oField.rawValue == 27)

= "27th";

(oField.rawValue == 28)

= "28th";

(oField.rawValue == 29)

= "29th";

(oField.rawValue == 30)

= "30th";

(oField.rawValue == 31)

= "31st";

strTest;

= oField.rawValue;

myRegExp = /\b(1st|2nd|3rd|4th|5th|6th|7th|8th|9th|10th|11th|12th|13th|14th|15th|16th|17th|18th|19th|20th|21st|22nd|23rd|24th|25th|26th|27th|28th|29th|30th|31st)\b/;

matchPos1 = strTest.search(myRegExp);

(matchPos1 == -1)

,"ORDINAL NUMBER ENTRY ERROR",1);

= "";

Is this a LiveCycle Designer form?

[tarah31605175]

Yes, this is a LiveCycle ES4 Designer form.

[try67]

OK. I moved the question to the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Are you sure this JavaScript?

A line like

(oField.rawValue == 1 | oField.rawValue == 01) = "1st";

looks to me like a part of an if statement and a part of a variable assignment.

Maybe you want to reformat your code in a standard way and re-post it completly?

Hi,

I can't make sense of your code either, but I do use this function (stolen from the momentJS library) and which is a bit simpler.

function Ordinal(number) {

    var b = number % 10;

    var output = (Math.floor(number % 100 / 10) === 1) ? 'th' :

                (b === 1) ? 'st' :

                (b === 2) ? 'nd' :

                (b === 3) ? 'rd' : 'th';

    return number + output;

}

Just pass in the oField.rawValue not the whole field itself.
