Parameter Entries

Use the Parameter Entries section to change the elements of a delimited list.

The contents of the Entries field must use this syntax:

param, [delimiter,] pos = scalarExpr

where:

  • param is the name of an event parameter that contains a string comprised of zero or more elements separated by the delimiter character.
  • delimiter is the character or string which separates elements in param from each other. This argument is optional. If this argument is not used, the comma (,) character is used. In this case, each element may contain commas if they are enclosed within a ~LIT~(…) wrapper.
  • pos is the 1-based position of the element to change.
  • scalarExpr is the value to whose string representation the element is to be set.

If multiple elements of the same parameter are to be changed, include their positions and values as additional entries separated by commas; for example:

param, [delimiter,] pos1 = scalarExpr1, pos2 = scalarExpr2[, ...]

When you click OK to return to the Event Actions form, the application "wraps" this content within a SETPARMENTRIES( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

SETPARMENTRIES( param, [delimiter,] pos = scalarExpr[, …] )

Note: If any scalarExpr is a literal value, the application automatically encloses it in double quotation marks when returning it to the Event Actions form. If a scalarExpr is an expression, the application does not enclose it in quotation marks.
