access.itemlist

Definition/Access: Verbs, Releases: AP and R83

Defines a specific list of item-ids.

Syntax

'item-id' 'item-id' item-id item-id

Description

indicates a specific list of item-ids to process.

Each item-id in the list may optionally be enclosed within single quotes. When an Access sentence contains no specific list of item-id's then, subject to restrictions specified in the optional selection clause, all items in the file are eligible for processing. (See 'selection criteria').

In AP, the single quotes around item-ids in an Access sentence are optional, unless the resulting command is ambiguous.

Example

list md '*a0'

This lists the specific item '*a0', from the md of the current
account.

list md *a0

Since '*a0' is a valid attribute-defining item (ADI), this sentence
produces output showing attribute 0 (zero) of every item in the current md.

list invoices 's1000' 's1010' 's1001'

This sentence requests a specific set of item-ids from the 'invoices'
file, and in AP, would also be valid as:

list invoices s1000 s1010 s1001
