$ListNewI

Create empty $list associated with image

Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $ListNewI function is the New (Stringlist constructor).

This function creates an empty $list. The created $list is associated with an image exactly as if the $ListNew call was followed by a $ListImg call.

The $ListNewI function accepts two arguments and returns a numeric result.

The first argument can either be a string containing the name of an image or any image item from the required image. This is a required argument.

The second argument, if set to the string NOREL, indicates that the contents of the $list are not to be emptied when a RELEASE ALL RECORDS statement is executed. This is an optional argument.

Syntax

<section begin="syntax" />%result = $ListNewI(image_id, option) <section end="syntax" />

$ListNewI Function

%result is set to the identifier of the created empty $list.

There are no error codes associated with $ListNewI though the absence of the image identifier or an invalid image identifier will cause request cancellation.

All invocations of a particular call to $ListNewI will always return the same value. Each time that call is executed, any previous $list created by that call is deleted, and a new list is created.

$ListNewI is available in Version 6.2 and later of the Sirius Mods.
