FORMLIST, FORMLISTV

The FORMLIST statement creates a numbered select list from a dynamic array. The FORMLISTV statement is similar but creates a select list variable.

Format

FORMLIST dyn.array {TO list.no}

FORMLISTV dyn.array TO var

where

dyn.array

evaluates to the list of items to form the select list.

list.no

evaluates to the select list number. If omitted, select list zero is created.

var	is the select list variable to be created.

Any existing select list list.no or in var is cleared and a new list is created from the elements of dyn.array. This list may be separated by field marks, item marks or a mixture of both.

Examples

READ REC FROM ACCOUNTS, "OVERDUE" THEN FORMLIST REC

This program fragment reads a list from record OVERDUE of file ACCOUNTS and creates select list zero from the elements of this list.

READ REC FROM ACCOUNTS, "OVERDUE" THEN FORMLIST REC TO 2

This program fragment is similar but creates select list 2.

READ REC FROM ACCOUNTS, "OVERDUE" THEN FORMLISTV MYLIST

This program fragment is again similar but creates MYLIST as a select list variable.
