The function performs a given mathematical operation over a part of local structures. This function belongs to the control functions.

The value of parameter _operation determines the mathematical operation according to this table:


The mathematical operation is performed as follows:

C = A + B

where:
Symbol A represents an area of local structured variable values which is given by its left upper corner (field _recA[fromRowA]^fromColA) and right lower corner (field _recA[toRowA]^toColA). The structured variable which is used in the first and second parameter must be the same. The dimensions (number of rows and columns) are also defined by this way. They are used in definition of B and C areas that are defined only by their right upper corner in the parameters.
The mathematical operation (defined by parameter) is performed among the individual appropriate fields of A and B areas. A result is written into area C.
A set parameter _bInvalidIsZero (zeroing of invalid value) is interpreted as follows:

• using the operators + and -, the invalid values are, before a calculation, considered as zero values
• using the operators * and /, the result is 0

In following example there is shown an addition of two matrixes.
The first matrix is delimited by fields _A[1]^_firstColNr (where _firstColNr has value =1) and _A[2]^_lastColNr (where _lastColNr is set on consecutive number of the last column of relevant structure).
The second matrix is defined by the field _B[1]^_firstColNr and consists of two rows and of the same number of columns like matrix in variable _A.
The result is written to appropriate fields in variable _C.
