Argument syntax and parameters

The subroutine is a piece of code that uses ‘arguments’. An argument is a set of options that tells the subroutine what to do. The argument parameters are commonly separated by an exclamation mark.

The CURRENT.ACT.BY.STATUS subroutine argument structure is:

CURRENT.ACT.BY.STATUS!arg2!arg3!arg4!arg5!arg6

What the argument parameters mean

Argument parameter Required or optional? Explanation Example
arg2 Required The System ID of the Related Activity file.  
arg3 Required EQUALS or NOT - whether to exclude activities of certain statuses (as listed in arg4), or to include them. Defaults to Equals.  
arg4 Required Statuses to check for. Delimited by ";".  
arg5 Optional Set to 1 to check the status of the Related Exhibition for a Venue record, rather than the Venue Status. Defaults to 0. This parameter is only valid if the file specified in arg2 is VE (Venue).  
arg6 Optional Set to 1 to sort records by start date, ascending (earliest first).
