What format does a calculation procedure expect data in when invoked in an OmniScript?

• A. CSV
• B. ASCII
• C. JSON
• D. VML

Answer: (C)

A calculation procedure in OmniScript expects data to be provided in JSON format. This is primarily because OmniScripts, as part of the Salesforce ecosystem, are designed to handle and transmit data structures in JSON. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Using JSON allows for the flexible representation of complex data. Within OmniScript, the ability to utilize a structured format like JSON enhances the operation of calculation procedures, as it efficiently organizes the input data so that the procedure can process and return outputs seamlessly.

The other formats listed do not align with the operational standards or expected input formats for OmniScripts. CSV is typically used for tabular data, ASCII is a character encoding standard, and VML is used primarily for vector graphics, none of which are suited for the types of data manipulation that calculation procedures perform within OmniScripts.
