**GetPercentile(** //value// **), VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **GetPercentile** | Returns the specified //value//'s percentile relative to the StepLongClass object's boundaries. |
| //value// | A constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that specifies the value for which to calculate the percentile. |

The **GetPercentile **method returns the specified //value//'s percentile relative to the StepLongClass object's upper and lower boundaries. For example, if the bounds are 0 and 1000 then GetPercentile(750) returns 75.

**Implementation:**

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

**Return Data Type:**     BYTE

**Example:**

** IF FIELD() = ?Locator                  !focus on locator field**

**  IF EVENT() = EVENT:Accepted           !if accepted**

**   MyBrowse.TakeAcceptedLocator         !BrowseClass handles it**

**   ?MyList{PROP:VScrollPos}=MyStep.GetPercentile(Locator) !position thumb to match**

**  END**

** END**
