    Posted by Martin FF on August 9, 2023 at 10:21 pm

    Hello all,

    Can anyone tell me how to retrieve the or, the name of the current list or the reference to the current list.

    If have to automatically rewrite code from old style to Omnis 11.

    Regards,

    Martin

    #CLIST has the name of the current list. I’m sure there’s a notation-y way to do it, but I’m not sure how that works.

    Regards,

    Paul.

    Hi Martin,

    I do not think there is one.

    When using the new notational way of coding there is no need to set the current list because all functions are used directly on the list, i.e.

    Do myList.$search($ref.$city=’Paris’,kTrue,kFalse,kFalse,kFalse)

    I hope this helps.

    Best,

    Andreas
