PV ARRAY TO CELLS 


 

PV ARRAY TO CELLS ( area ; direction ; column ; row ; conversion ; array ) 
Parameter Type   Description
area  Longint in 4D View area
direction  Integer in 0 = Row; 1 = Column
column  Longint in Start column number
row  Longint in Start row number
conversion  Integer in 0 = Set to text; 1 = Original type
array  Array in Array name

The PV ARRAY TO CELLS command inserts in area the content of arrays whose names are specified in the array array. The content is inserted from coordinates defined by column and row, in the direction defined by direction.

Note: Using the direction parameter is different from the direction parameter in the PV GOTO NEXT CELL and PV GET NEXT FREE CELL, where the direction can be in any direction. For PV ARRAY TO CELLS, the direction is either to the right (0 = row), or toward the bottom (1=column).

The fifth parameter, conversion, allows changing the data type of the cell contents that will end up as text. The type of source value must be compatible with this operation: if you request a data type change of a BLOB or a picture to text, conversion will be ignored.

Example  

Re-copy, toward the bottom, three arrays of different types from the current cell. Depending on the response to the type change confirmation dialog box, the array content can be executed in 4D View cells in the converted (text) form or not.

 C_LONGINT($Index//Loop index
 C_LONGINT($Column;$Row//Start cell coordinates
 C_LONGINT($Conversion//Force conversion to text?
 
 ARRAY TEXT($ArrayString;10) //Array of alphanumeric values (start at current cell)
 ARRAY DATE($ArrayDates;10) //Array of dates (next column)
 ARRAY BOOLEAN($ArrayBooleans;10) //Array of Booleans (third column)
 
  //Initialization
 For($Index;1;Size of array($ArrayString))
    $ArrayString{$Index}:=String($Index*10) //"10", "20", "30"...
    $ArrayDates{$Index}:=Current date(*)+$Index  //25/06/2001, 26/06/2001...
    $ArrayBooleans{$Index}:=($Index%2=0) //True = even
 End for
 
 PV GET CURRENT CELL(Area;$Column;$Row)
 
 CONFIRM("Would you like to convert the arrays content to text?")
 $Conversion:=1-OK
 
  //To obtain the columns "$ArrayString", "$ArrayDates" and "$ArrayBooleans":
 PV ARRAY TO CELLS(Area;1;$Column;$Row;$Conversion;$ArrayString//1 = toward the bottom
 PV ARRAY TO CELLS(Area;1;$Column+1;$Row;$Conversion;$ArrayDates)
 PV ARRAY TO CELLS(Area;1;$Column+2;$Row;$Conversion;$ArrayBooleans)
