Net.Data provides a wide variety of functions that you can use without creating your own FUNCTION blocks. Net.Data built-in functions are divided into the following categories:

• Math functions perform mathematical operations. See Math Functions.

• String-manipulation functions modify strings and characters. See String Functions.

• Word-manipulation functions modify words or sets of words. See Word Functions.

• Table-manipulation functions help you generate forms and reports from your table data. See Table Functions.

• Flat-file interface functions perform file input and output. See Flat File Interface Functions.

• Web-registry functions perform operations on a Web registry. See Web Registry Functions.

• Persistent macro functions support transaction processing in Net.Data. See Persistent Macro Functions

In the descriptions that follow, function parameters are described as being of type string, integer, float, and table. All Net.Data variables are of type string, but the terms integer and float are used to denote a string that represents an integer or float value, respectively.
