Enumerating Numbers

I'm having trouble enumerating a variable, as in:

Input>Number,How many records to search ?
Let>WaitTime=(%Number%/10000)*60
// 10000 records searched in a minute
Message>%WaitTime%
Wait>%WaitTime%

When I see WaitTime it shows "30000/10000*60 it does expand it to 180 nor does Wait wait the expected time. What am I missing?

Thanks-
John

Your Let statement needs to be:

Let>WaitTime={(%Number%/10000)*60}

Hi John,

See complex expressions in help

You need braces around the expression, it should then provide acceptable results.

Input>Number,How many records to search ?
Let>WaitTime={(%Number%/10000)*60}
// 10000 records searched in a minute
Message>%WaitTime%
Wait>%WaitTime%

Good Luck.

Thanks, Marcus. Missed that little tid bit - stared at it for an hour and didn't see it.
