MOVELIST

The MOVELIST statement moves a select list. The MOVELISTV statement is similar but creates a select list variable.

Format

MOVELIST src.list TO tgt.list {KEEP}

where

src.list

identifies the select list to be moved.

tgt.list

identifies the list to which the select list to be moved.

KEEP	retains the original state of src.list, creating a copy of the list.

The MOVELIST statement allows an application to move a select list. It can be used with either the numbered select lists or with select list variables. The KEEP option copies the list, leaving the original source list unchanged. If this option is not present, the source list is cleared.

If src.list is not a select list variable, it is interpreted as being the number (0 to 10) of a numbered select list.

MOVELIST treats tgt.list as a list number. Use of MOVELISTV treats tgt.list as the name of a select list variable.

Examples

MOVELIST 7 TO 0

This command transfers the current content of list 7 to the default list (list 0), clearing list 7.

MOVELISTV 7 TO MYLIST KEEP

This command transfers the current content of list 7 to a select list variable named MYLIST, retaining list 7.
