Baan Function with variable number of arguments.

Baan provides the mechanism to define functions with variable number of arguments in two basic ways.


a) Max argument count is fixed.

The syntax for it is as follows.


function_name(long arg1, [long arg2], [long arg3])


This function defined as above can be called in 3 ways
1) function_name(val1)
2) function_name(val1, val2)
3) function_name(val1, val2, val3)


Usage:
function sample(long arg1, [long arg2], [long arg3])
{
        long val2, val3

        val2 = get.long.arg(2)
        val3 = get.long.arg(3)
        ......
        ......
}



b) Argument count is not fixed.

The syntax for it is as follows.


function_name(long arg1, ... )


This function defined as above can be called in 3 ways
1) function_name(val1)
2) function_name(val1, val2)
.....
.....
.....
n) function_name(val1, val2, ......., valn)


Usage:
function sample(long arg1, ... )
{
        long long_value
        dounble double_value
        string string_value

        for i = 2 to get.argc()
                on case get.arg.type(i)
                case DB.LONG:
                        long_value = get.long.arg(i)
                        ......
                        break
                        case DB.DOUBLE:
                        double_value = get.double.arg(i)
                        ......
                        break
                        default:
                        string_value = get.string.arg(i)
                         ......
                        break
                endcase
        endfor
}
