OTL Syntax

QuantityTerm = QuantityTerm1 - QuantityTerm2;

Description

This is a term which as a result of the subtraction of two numeric values ​​(is NumericQuantity) returns with respect to their units.

• When Quantity values are subtracted, the physical dimensions of the display unit of all Quantity operands shall be identical.

• If scalar operands exist, they shall be interpreted as normalized values according to the physical dimension of the Quantity operands. This allows e.g. the addition of 2 km - 1 m - 11 which will result in a Quantity of 1988 m.

• The display unit of the resulting Quantity should be set to the SI base unit corresponding to the Quantity's physical dimension. Furthermore, the display precision of the resulting Quantity shall be the maximum of the display precisions of the operands.

Return Value

The Term returns the value, see table below.

In OTX, Terms are categorized according to its return data type!
