Tip of the Day: New REVLIST Function Added
Product: R:BASE 11
Build: 11.0.3.20611 or higher
Section: Functions
Keywords: REVLIST, Reverse, List, Delimiter
A new *REVLIST* string manipulation function has been implemented to
reverse the order of items within a delimited list of values.
*Syntax:*
|(REVLIST(text,delimiter))|
Where:
* *text* specifies the list of values to be reversed.
* *delimiter* specifies the character used to separate the list items.
The function returns the list with the items in reverse order while
preserving the specified delimiter.
The *delimiter* argument allows the use of custom list separators,
similar to the functionality provided by the *SSUBCD* function.
*Example:*
|||||SET VAR vReverseList TEXT =
(REVLIST('One,Two,Three,Four,Five',(CHAR(044))))|
The value assigned to *vReverseList* will be:
|Five,Four,Three,Two,One|
The *REVLIST* function differs from the *REVERSE* function, which
reverses the order of individual characters within a text string.
Instead, *REVLIST* operates on a list of delimited values, reversing the
order of the list items while maintaining the integrity of each item.
