List Processing Commands

A List in EMUE is a data structure that stores tabular data - data that is organized in rows and columns. Lists can be created within the script to store data that will be used later.  Additionally, data that is retrieved from Excel, databases, or tables on web pages are stored in Lists by EMUE.

The CreateList command is used to create a List programmatically in EMUE.  Lists that are filled using the database or Excel commands do not need to be created first.  The PutListMember command is used to add a ListMember or row to a List when the list has not already been populated from a database, spreadsheet or web table.

When EMUE is in debug mode, the Lists tab in the interface displays the contents of all lists that are currently in use.  From this tab, the current list member can be changed and Lists can be deleted.

The GetListCount command is used to detect the number of rows or list members in the specified list. CountListMember fields detects the number of fields or columns in a List and stores it in a variable.  These commands help to determine programmatically if the data in the list is in the expected format.
