DO SHOW WHEN Example
 

To add a DO SHOW WHEN query block, select Tools>Add Query Block>DO SHOW WHEN from the XMIM menu bar.

Format:

This models the event in the WHEN block, then performs calculations and flag settings in the DO, and reports attribute values with the SHOW.

Example:             

DO 
     myCounter = myCounter + 1

SHOW
     1: myCounter
     2: % move from today to 2 days later of Close of DJIA

WHEN
     Close of DJIA crosses above 
      52 week average of Close of DJIA 1 day ago 

English: This query answers the question, ‘How many times has the DJIA crossed above its 52 week average, and after each crossing, what was the percent change over the next 2 days.’

Note 1:  In all 3 sections, zero or more statements could have been used.  When a section has zero statements, the related keyword can be left off as in example 2.

Note 2:  In the second show attribute, we have legally substituted the percent sign for the word percent.
