-
Nested functions are calculated from the inside out.
-
Commas are not permitted in numeric constants.
-
Alternative quote characters, such as smart quotes, are not permitted in string constants.
-
Be careful using null. An empty string (for example "") or a zero value (0) is not the same as null.
-
Review spacing. The system views spaces as two different attributes. For example, First Name would search for a data field named "First" instead of "First Name."
-
The lookup function only returns a single value. If the criteria used in the lookup function matches multiple records, the function returns the first found value, regardless if more values exist.
-
Certain functions are not intended for send time use with high volume. These include EncryptSymmetric,CreateSalesforceObject, and InsertDE functions.
