List: create a list and add entries

Tag: List

The List function adds actions to a list that can be iterated in a LOOP action.

On top of Name and Action, LIST takes all parameters that the action to execute would take. Eg. with a LOAD action added to a LIST.

Each action in a list can then be executed via ExecuteListAction (see below). This allows for a better script code density and standardization.

The actions in a list do not have to be executed. They can serve as a context for the loop (see list of variables etc.).

Attributes	Value Description
Name	Any string to ID the name
Action	Regular action name

Add A LOAD server/DB action to a LIST, set Action to "Load" and add all the LOAD regular parameters:

CODE

<List name="MyList" Action="Load" Database="AutoTest\lm_us_8.nsf" Server="ytest-MD/TESTING"/>

The LOOP processing the LIST will execute:

CODE

<Load Database="AutoTest\lm_us_8.nsf" Server="ytest-MD/TESTING"/>
