Associate an image with a $list
Note: Many $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $ListImg function is BindImage.
The $ListImg function accepts two arguments and returns a numeric result: a 0 (indicating that the image has been associated with the $list) or a negative number (indicating that an error has occurred). It is a callable $function.
Syntax
[%result =] $ListImg(list_identifier, image_id)
| %result | A string that contains a 0, or it contains a negative number (see Return codes) if an error has occurred. |
|---|---|
| list_identifier | A $list identifier. This is a required argument. |
| image_id | A string containing the name of an image (or, as shown below in the Usage notes, it can be an identifier of an image-item from the image). This is a required argument. |
Return codes
-5 - Required argument not specified -6 - $List identifier invalid -8 - Image not found
Usage notes
- Suppose there is an image with the following description:
IMAGE SALES ITEM IS STRING LEN 16 ID IS STRING LEN 8 PRICE IS BINARY LEN 4 END IMAGE
One can associate this image with the $list
%listwith:%rc = $ListImg(%list, 'SALES')
or
%rc = $ListImg(%list, %SALES:ID)
While the latter is syntactically inefficient (
:IDis superfluous), it is more efficient because the image name hashing and lookup is done at compile time rather than evaluation time. - Functions that can use the association between an image and a $list are:
- The association between an image and a $list is an association between the image and the particular $list identifier value. A $ListMove does not change the image association of the target $list, and the image association of a $list is not saved or restored with $ListSav and $ListRst.
