Formatted search query with variable

Question

Hi
I am trying to create a formatted search on a purchase order document.The scenario is as follows:
The issue is that the client will on certain stock records incur a tooling cost when raising a PO. This is a once off cost when they order a particular item. For example the tooling cost on a stock item is u20AC5.50. The cost price on the item is u20AC100. If they order for example 5 of these the total cost is u20AC505.50 i.e. u20AC100*5+tooling cost of u20AC5.50.
What we are attempting to do is pull through the tooling cost and add this on to the line total using a formatted search.
-UDF created on item record table. This is set type 'Unit and totals' and structure is 'Price'. This is called ToolingCost
-UDF created on marketing doc rows for ToolingCost. Again this is set to the same type and structure as the UDF on the item record.
-We have created a UDF on marketing row for total cost and set a formatted search against this with query attached that is attempting to calculate the total cost. We cannot get this to work and the problem would appear to be that the price field is a variable and this is causing an issue on the query. Can we include a variable field in our query and if so what should the syntax be?
Our query at the moment is 'SELECT 100*($[POR1.QTY.NUMBER])+($[POR1.U_TOOLINGCOSTS.NUMBER])
Note 100 in query syntax above to be replaced by price on POR1 table.
Can anyone provide assistence please.

Hi Derek........
Try this.....
declare @var1_Qty as varchar(255)
declare @var2_Pr as varchar(255)
declare @var3 as float
declare @var4 as float
set @var1_Qty=$[$38.11.0]
set @var2_Pr=$[$38.14.0]
Set @var3=$[POR1.U_TOOLINGCOSTS.0]
set @var4=cast(substring(replace(@var2_Pr,',',''),0,len(replace(@var2_Pr,',',''))-3) as float)
select (@var1 * @var4)+@var3
Hope this will help you.......
