      DMath: MAX(MIN(A,B),C)

      Calculates the minimum of (A or B) then returns the maximum of the selected value or C

      Purpose

      Use this function to:
      • Compare value C to whichever is lower out of A or B
      • First find the minimum of 2 values, and then compare that minimum with a third value to find the maximum

      Return Value

      PropertyValue
      FieldTypeDouble
      FieldSizeLow / Med / High / Continuous
      DataTypeDiscrete / Continuous
      DataSizeShort / Integer / LongInteger / Double
      Example Return Value: X*.XXXXXX....-X*.XXXXX

e.g.  21.000000, 98754654.123456, -5.000000, -654.320000

      A“p2”: “NumericFieldName”
      “p2”: “#N*.N*”      		Required. Numerical input for A.   Compared with B to select minimum.
      Supports:  
      • DataType: Discrete / Continuous
      • Field Type: Integer, Double
      • Fixed Value:  #N*    e.g. #201596,    #-87
      • Fixed Value: #N*.N* e.g. #201596.05,    #-87.98
      B“p3”: “NumericFieldName”
      “p3”: “#N*.N*”      		Required. Numerical input for B.  Compared with A to select minimum.
      Supports:  
      • DataType: Discrete / Continuous
      • Field Type: Integer, Double
      • Fixed Value:  #N*    e.g. #201596,    #-87
      • Fixed Value: #N*.N* e.g. #201596.05,    #-87.98
      C“p4”: “NumericFieldName”
      “p4”: “#N*.N*”      		Required. Numerical input for C.  Compared with whichever is the minimum of A or B to select maximum.
      Supports:  
      • DataType: Discrete / Continuous
      • Field Type: Integer, Double
      • Fixed Value:  #N*    e.g. #201596,    #-87
      • Fixed Value: #N*.N* e.g. #201596.05,    #-87.98
      Treat Null as Zero"nullIsZero": true
      "nullIsZero": false

      		True/False.
      Default = False
      If true, then any null values in the input fields will be treated as if they have a value of 0.
      If false, then if any of A, B or C is Null, then a Null will be returned.
