Add (Stringlist function)

Add strings to Stringlist (Stringlist class)

This callable method adds arbitrary string data to a Stringlist. The Add method accepts one argument and returns a numeric result.

Syntax

[%number =] sl:Add( itemList)

Syntax terms

%number	A numeric variable to contain the number of items in the indicated Stringlist after the string has been added. %number is also the item number associated with the added string in the Stringlist.
sl	A Stringlist object.
string	A string that is to be added to the Stringlist.

Usage notes

• All errors result in request cancellation.
• Before Sirius Mods Version 6.6, it was a request cancelling error to try to add a longstring longer than the size limit of a Stringlist item: 6124 bytes. This limitation was eliminated in Sirius Mods Version 6.6.
• The Push and Enqueue stringlist methods are the same as the Add method. Push was designed as a convenience for use with Pop. Enqueue was designed as a convenience for use with Dequeue.

Examples

In the following example, four comma-delimited field values are added to a Stringlist for each record in a Recordset:

%list is object stringList
...
%list = new
for each record in %recset
   %data = ssn with ',' with lname with ',' -
           fname with ',' with mi
   %list:add(%data)
end for
