Description
Determines whether a specified value exists in a delimited list.
Syntax
truefalse = InList (list, value, delimiter)
Parameters
The InList function has the following parameters.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| List | Any array, where the delimiter can be any ANSI value. |
| Value | Specify the value to be checked for inclusion in list. |
| Delimiter | Any ANSI value. |
While the value of list can be any string of values delimited by any single ANSI value, there is a convention in BASIC+ that allows certain stored procedures to accept a list as an argument for a parameter. When that condition applies (the parameter name usually has "list" in it), the calling convention is an @FM-delimited string. To determine inclusion in the passed list, you must specify @FM as the delimiter. Only one value can be checked, for each call to InList. Returns either true (1) or false (0).

Remarks
/* The value of result is 1, because "BILL" is an item in list. */ List = "BILL":@FM:"MARY":@FM:"JIM" result = Inlist(list, "BILL", @FM)
