Add and retrieve lists from a Master list

So do you mean:

foreach(listN list(list1 list2 list3)
  printf("List to process: %L\n" listN)
)

That seems fairly obvious, so I'm wondering if you meant something else by your question?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply; Your suggestion helps but I am still not getting me the desired output as below:

• I am reading a csv file; each line of the csv file is read as a list as I need to use ‘?choices; option in hiCreateReportField function to display each line.
• Lists can be of any number depending on the lines in the CSV file.

I am able to you use your suggestion but ?choices option in hiCreateReportField function DOESN’T DISPLAY OUTPUT in below code. Can you please provide any suggestions.

……(code)…..

lista = readcsv(ln); each line has 6 items separated by comma

listN = cons(list a ListN) ; adding each list into listN

……(code)…..

;Create the report field.

  reportField = hiCreateReportField(

     ?name 'reportField

     ?selectMode 'single

     ?sort nil

     ?headers list(`….); has 6 headers to match 6 items in list

    ?choices list(listN) ; DOESN’T DISPLAY OUTPUT. Provides a blank screen with no errors

); end

……(code)…..

The problem is that you've given a rather incomplete description of your problem, missing the most important parts - i.e. how the actual data is produced! Since you've not provided your readcsv function, I am assuming that it returns a list of strings.

If you are then building listN as a list of these lists by consing on one at a time, listN will be a list of lists of strings.

Then when you call hiCreateReportField, you are passing a list of list of lists of strings. That's not what it is expecting. The expectation is that it gets passed a list of lists, with each list being a list of strings. In other words, what you have as listN. So my wild guess with only being able to see a fraction of the code is that it should be ?choices listN rather than ?choices list(listN).

Andrew
