A select-list is a set of item-IDs or attributes created by the SELECT statement or by TCL select-list generators, to be used in a READNEXT statement. There are three types of select-list:
External file select-lists |
External file select-lists are created by TCL list generators such as SELECT, SSELECT, and QSELECT, external to the mvBASIC program. |
Internal file select-lists |
Internal File select-lists are created by using the SELECT statement on an mvBASIC file variable. |
Dynamic array select-lists |
Dynamic array select-lists are created by using the SELECT statement on an mvBASIC string variable. Such strings are stored in a dynamic array. |
Refer to the section titled Overview of mvBASIC Statements and Functions for more information on select-list variables.
