[GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount

[Gyle McCollam]

Derek, this is something I was looking for, however when I tried to put "total" in the debit and credit formula it wouldn't allow the "s.  So I tried with the quotes and it wouldn't save the scheduled transaction.  See the attach screen shot.  Can you tell me what I did wrong?

Thank You,

Yes, just put a variable (string) in the debit/credit formula.  Eg,
"total".  When the SX fires, it will ask you for the actual amount to put
in.

Enjoy.
