| FIND() |
This procedure finds records in a file based on an
input value.
Format FIND^DIC(FILE,IENS,FIELDS,FLAGS,VALUE,NUMBER,INDEXES,SCREEN,IDENTIFIER,
TARGET_ROOT,MSG_ROOT)
|
| VARIABLES |
TYPE |
VARIABLES DESCRIPTION |
FILE |
Input |
(Required) This parameter is the number of the file
or subfile to search. If it is a subfile, it must be accompanied by the IENS
parameter.
|
IENS |
Input |
(Optional) The IENS that identifies the subfile if
FILE is a subfile number. Defaults to no subfile.
|
FIELDS |
Input |
(Optional) The fields to return with each entry
found, in addition to the .01 field, internal entry number, and any MUMPS
identifiers on the file. Defaults to returning the internal entry number, the
.01 field, and all identifiers.
|
FLAGS |
Input |
(Optional) This parameter lets the caller adjust the
Finder's algorithm. The possible values are:
A Allow pure numeric input to always be tried as an IEN. M Multiple index
lookup allowed. O Only find exact matches if possible. Q Quick lookup. X
EXact matches only.
|
VALUE |
Input |
(Required) The lookup value.
|
NUMBER |
Input |
(Optional) The maximum number of entries to find.
|
INDEXES |
Input |
(Optional) The indexes the Finder should search for
matches.
|
SCREEN |
Input |
(Optional) A screen to apply to each record found.
|
IDENTIFIER |
Input |
(Optional) The text to accompany each found entry to
help identify it to the end user.
|
TARGET_ROOT |
Both |
(Optional) The array that should receive the output
list of found entries.
If not specified, the default location is descendent from
^TMP("DILIST",$J). When the calling application is finshed with the data the
^TMP("DILIST",$J) array may be killed.
|
MSG_ROOT |
Both |
(Optional) The array that should receive any error
messages.
|
|
$$FIND1() |
This extrinsic function finds a single record in a
file based on an input value; if more than one match is found, the function
returns an error.
Format $$FIND1^DIC(FILE,IENS,FLAGS,VALUE,INDEXES,SCREEN,MSG_ROOT)

LIST() |
This procedure, expected to be used to populate a GUI
Listbox gadget, retrieves a list of records from a file.
Format LIST^DIC(FILE,IENS,FIELDS,FLAGS,NUMBER,[.]FROM,PART,INDEX,SCREEN,
IDENTIFIER,TARGET_ROOT,MSG_ROOT)
|
| VARIABLES |
TYPE |
VARIABLES DESCRIPTION |
FILE |
Input |
(Required) The file whose entries are to be listed.
This should equal the file or subfile number, depending on what the caller
wishes to list.
|
IENS |
Input |
(Optional) If the FILE parameter equals a file
number, don't pass the IENS parameter; it is not needed. If, on the other
hand, the FILE parameter equals a subfile number, the Lister needs the IENS
parameter to help identify which subfile to list.
|
FIELDS |
Input |
(Optional) The fields to return with each entry in
the list instead of the field identifiers otherwise returned.
|
FLAGS |
Input |
(Optional) Flags to control processing:
B Backwards. (Defaults to traversing forward.) I Internal format is returned.
|
NUMBER |
Input |
(Optional) The number of entries to return.
|
[.]FROM |
Both |
Optional) The index entry from which to begin the
list (e.g., a FROM value of "XQ" would list entries following XQ).
|
PART |
Input |
(Optional) The partial match restriction.
|
INDEX |
Input |
(Optional) The index from which to build the list.
Defaults to "B".
|
SCREEN |
Input |
(Optional) The screen to apply to each potential
entry in the returned list to decide whether or not to include it.
This code can rely upon the following:
Naked indicator Zero-node of entry's record. D Index being traversed. DIC
Number of file being traversed. DIC(0) Flags passed to the Lister
(direction). Y Record number of entry under consideration. Y() array For
subfiles, descendants give record numbers for all upper levels. Structure
resembles DA. Y1 IENS equivalent to Y array.
|
IDENTIFIER |
Input |
(Optional) The text to accompany each potential entry
in the returned list to help identify it to the end user.
|
TARGET_ROOT |
Both |
(Optional) The array that should receive the output
list.
|
MSG_ROOT |
Both |
(Optional) The array that should receive any error
messages.
