INLIST( ) Function

Example   See Also

Determines whether an expression matches another expression in a set of expressions.

Syntax

INLIST(eExpression1, eExpression2 [, eExpression3 ...])

Returns

Logical or null value

Arguments

eExpression1

Specifies the expression INLIST( ) searches for in the set of expressions.

eExpression2 [, eExpression3 ...]

Specifies the set of expressions to search. You must include at least one expression (eExpression2), and can include up to 24 expressions (eExpression2, eExpression3, and so on).

All the expressions in the set of expressions must be of the same data type.

Remarks

INLIST( ) returns true (.T.) if it finds the expression in the set of expressions; otherwise INLIST( ) returns false (.F.). The null value is returned if eExpression1 is the null value. The null value is also returned if eExpression1 is not the null value, eExpression1 does not match another expression, and at least one of the other expressions is the null value.
