    Table of contents

    Description of the method

     

    Description: .max() method compares the given value to the value of the parameter and returns the greater one.
    Available for: integer, real
    Parameters: integer, real
    Return type: integer, real

     

    Example

    Context: Message
    OCL: self.Transaction->asSequence().Amount->at(0).max(self.Transaction->asSequence().Amount->at(1)) = 100
    Description: The example rule compares the larger amount from the first and second transaction amounts to the right side operand. It's assumed that there is at least two transactions. The 'at' method doesn't work with the Bag type so it has to be changed to Sequence.

     

    The XML snippet below would pass this check.

    The other snippet below however would not pass this check. (The larger amount, 35, is not equal to 100)
