[slang-users] USIng the LIST inside of C ...

[Ben Duncan]

Thanks ... would something MORE abbreviated like the following Work?

Sample:
/*
    Abbreviated C source for get_multivalues
*/

void get_multivalues (int Attribute)
{
   int idx, MV_CNT ;
   char *Buffer;

   /* Gimme a COUNT of Multi values in EACH attribute ... */
   MV_CNT = db_stat( dp->di_apgn, Attribute, -1 ) ;

   (void) SLang_start_arg_list ();
   for (idx = 1 ; idx <= MV_CNT ; idx++ )
     {
        Buffer = str_extract ( dp->di_apgn, Attribute, idx ); 

        (void) SLang_push_string (Buffer)
        free ( Buffer );
     }

   (void) SLang_end_arg_list ();
}

---------------------------------------------------------------------
% SLANG Code Base:
% Gimme ALL the MV strings on Attribute 33 ...

get_mutlivalues( 33 ) ;
MyList = __pop_args (_NARGS);
