I can't get this expression to self calculate and populate the OBSNOW("BMI") field.

{OBSNOW("BMI") = str(CalcBMIConv(gHEIGHT,gHEIGHTPREV,gWEIGHT))

}

{fn CalcBMIConv(heightnow,heightprev,weightnow)

{ local heightval = ""

cond case heightnow <> ""

heightval = heightnow case heightprev <> ""

heightval = heightprev

else heightval = ""

endcond

if weightnow == "" or heightval == "" or val(weightnow) == 0 or val(heightval) == 0

then return ""

endif

if heightval == 0 then return str(0)

endif

return str((weightnow / 2.2) / ((heightval / 39.4)^2))

}}

It won't populate my OBSNOW("BMI") data display, I even tried changing it to an edit field.

You dont show where you populate your globals gHEIGHT,gHEIGHTPREV,gWEIGHT, I suspect that may be the problem. I use this instead on my form with the function you have.

{DOCUMENT.TEMP_veHEIGHTNOW = OBSNOW("Height")}

{DOCUMENT.TEMP_veHEIGHTPREV = OBSPREV("Height")}

{DOCUMENT.TEMP_veWEIGHTNOW = OBSNOW("Weight")}

{DOCUMENT.BODY_MASS_IN = str(CalcBMIConv(DOCUMENT.TEMP_veHEIGHTNOW,DOCUMENT.TEMP_veHEIGHTPREV,DOCUMENT.TEMP_veWEIGHTNOW))

OBSNOW("BMI",DOCUMENT.BODY_MASS_IN)}

I did see that posted else where and did try using it but still can't get it to calculate and connect to it. I'm probably doing something wrong else where. I also tried making it a watcher with the exclamation point. It just doesn't seem to populate.

Hmm... Mine is an edit field connected to DOCUMENT.BODY_MASS_IN, did you run a trace yet? I dont see anything wrong with the code, as long all of it is in the code panel on the right, it should work

It looks like the Weight is blank, it requires both to produce a result
