CUSTOM SCALAR executes custom written Java code placed on the EASA Server to generate and return a SCALAR. The specific code that is accessed is determined by the selection of the code’s fully qualified class name as the value of the Class: parameter. For details on writing custom code for EASA, Creating Custom Code using the EASA API.

Essential Parameters:
