convert '() to list()

loboveena

I am creating a form which has multiple tab fields and want to display only those tabs that meet a certain condition. So the output I get is of type list but in the format '() . The problem I have is providing this list to the ?fields argument of hiCreateTabField() function as it looks for the input in the format "list()" .

Is it possible to convert '() to list() in skill ?

I am aware of the visible/invisible option to do this but this is not what I want.

Thanks,

Veena

  • Veena,

    This doesn't make sense. The hiCreateTabField (or indeed any other function in SKILL) doesn't expect anything in list() or '() format. They require list objects, but they don't care how the list was formed. A list is a particular type in SKILL, and the  list() function and '() function are just two of many functions that can construct lists. list() builds a list from the evaluated values in its arguments, and '() creates a literal list with no evaluation - that's the only difference. So converting between the two makes no sense as it's unnecessary and once the list is a created, nothing has any knowledge of how it was created.

    Perhaps if you can describe your bigger problem or provide the code that has the issue, we might be able to give more specific advice?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
