This Subprogram will attempt to decode the specified text string into a List of Integer Values.

Short Name Calling Sequence

STATUS = UIDCIL(STRING,VALUES,VASIZE,NVALUE)

Long Name Calling Sequence

STATUS = UI_DECODE_INT_LIST(...)

Input Arguments

STRING (Character) STRING Text VASIZE (Integer) Maximum No. of Values

VALUES (Integer Array) Decoded Values Array NVALUE (Integer) Decoded No. of Values

Function Value

UI__SUCCESS ) Success UISUCC )

UI__TRUNCATED ) Truncated UITRUN )

UI__ILLEGAL_SYNTAX ) Illegal Syntax UIILSY ) Note:

  1. The UI__ILLEGAL_SYNTAX Function Value will be returned if the text string does not conform to the correct Integer List syntax (see Notes for UI_GET_INT_LIST). No modification will be made to the default value in this case.
  2. Unlike the other Decoding Subprograms UI_DECODE_INT_LIST does not accept any Defaults. If the string is null (all spaces) then NVALUE will be set to zero, indicating that no Elements are present.

  4. Any leading or trailing spaces or tabs within STRING will be ignored.
