GETASSOCNAME$
GETASSOCNAME$ is a function for traversing the tuples of a string
association.
Syntax:
GETASSOCNAME$(<sexp>,<nexp>)
<sexp> is the association to be traversed (case-sensitive).
<nexp> specifi es the tuple in the association.
<nexp>
=
0 specifi es fi rst tuple.
<nexp>
≠
0 specifi es next tuple.
An association is an array of tuples, where each tuple consists of a name
and a value. To get the fi rst position in the string association, <nexp>
should be zero. Consecutive calls to GETASSOCNAME$ witn <nexp>
non zero will traverse all variables in an undefi ned order. When a blank
string ("") is returned, the last variable has been traversed.
Th is example shows how “QARRAY" is traversed (run example from
GETASSOC fi rst):
10 LVAL$=GETASSOCNAME$("QARRAY",0)
20 WHILE LVAL$<>""
30 RVAL$=GETASSOC$("QARRAY",LVAL$)
40 PRINT LVAL$;"=";RVAL$
50 LVAL$=GETASSOCNAME$("QARRAY",1)
60 WEND
Th e example yields the following when run:
label=321
desc=DEF

MAKEASSOC
MAKEASSOC is used to create associations.
Syntax:
MAKEASSOC <sexp1>,<sexp2>,<sexp3>
<sexp
1
> specifi es the name of the association to be created (case-
sensitive).
<sexp
2
> contains an argument list of parameter tuples according
to the convention in <sexp
3
>.
