GET-LIST

Man Page Index

Retrieves a previously stored list from the common area and makes it the current active (default) list.

SYNTAX

GET-LIST {list-name {account-name}}

SYNTAX ELEMENTS

list-name specifies the name of the list to be retrieved. If you do not specify a list name, the default list will be used.

account-name is the name of the account from which the list was saved. If you do not specify account-name, the system will use the current account name.

NOTES

The GET-LIST command is used to retrieve a list previously stored using the SAVE-LIST command. If the list is retrieved successfully, it will become the current active (default) list and will be inherited by the next jBASE command or program.

Also see the information on list storage.

EXAMPLE

:GET-LIST A.SALES
200 Records selected
>LIST SALES

Retrieves a list named A.SALES and generates an active list. You can then issue a subsequent command such as LIST SALES which will use the active list.
