I want to obtain a dollar amount by doing the following using formcalc in Livescript:

$0.00 / Percentage = Total

anyone?

Right now it looks like this:

(SubFormHR.Hrs * SubFormHR.TableReimb.Row1.ReimbPercent)

and I know it's not right because it's multiplying. But when I use / I get an error

You can not divide by zero. So you have to add a test to avoid dividing by zero.

I am not dividing by zero. The total is calculated into the first cell. The percentage is filled in by the form user.

If I am not mistaken "$0.00 / Percentage = Total" is division. Also the value you are setting the result for should be on the left side of the set operator. There is a Scripting Reference as part of LiveCycle Desinger Help.

Also until 'Percentage' is calclulated its value is null or zero.
