**GetValue(** //percentile //**), VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **GetValue** | Returns the specified //percentile//'s value relative to the StepLongClass object's boundaries. |
| //percentile// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that specifies the percentile for which to retrieve the value. |

The **GetValue **method returns the specified //percentile//'s value relative to the StepLongClass object's upper and lower boundaries. For example, if the bounds are 0 and 1000 then GetValue(25) returns '250'.

**Implementation:**

The SetLimit method sets the StepLongClass object's upper and lower boundaries.

**Return Data Type:**     STRING

**Example:**

** IF FIELD() = ?MyList                               !focus on browse list**

**  IF EVENT() = EVENT:ScrollDrag                     !if thumb moved**

**   Locator=MyStep.GetValue(?MyList{PROP:VScrollPos})!update locator to match**

**  END**

** END**
