Inline Functions

In-Line Functions

In-line functions may be embedded in conditional and control statements. The comprehensive list of in-line functions are as follows:

TEST - For logical tests

nM> res x test("a string",EQS,"A STRING2")
nM> res x
  L: X               = 0

CALC - For mathematical calculations

nM> res x calc(10,20,+)
nM> res x
  D: X               = 30.0

SEDIT - For string editing

nM> res str sedit("a string",SUBS,"string","new string",LOCASE)
nM> res str
12S: STR             = a new string

FILE - For file header and data access (Midas Blue files only)

nM> res file(apenny.prm).getsize
  d: FILE(APENNY.PRM).GETSIZE = 128.0

X-Midas Users Take Note:
X-Midas treats a name with a following open-parens ("`(`") as an element in a file (Vectored Results), like: `X-Midas> res <filename>(<index>)` In NeXtMidas, an element in a file is accessed as: `nM> res FILE(<filename>).data(<offset>)`
