SLPgetname

---

Purpose

Get the name of an SLP item corresponding to a given index

Synopsis

function SLPgetname(Type:integer, Index:integer) : string

Arguments

Type	The type of item required. The full list is in the XSLP Function Reference manual; the following are those most commonly used: 1 Row names 2 Column names xslp_internalfuncnames Internal (pre-defined) function names xslp_userfuncnames User function names xslp_xvnames XV names
Index	The index number of the item required

Return value

The name of the indexed item in the problem of the appropriate type. An empty value means that the requested item was not found.

Example

The following code fragment writes the names of the row, column, internal function and user function with index 2:

i := 2
writeln("Row               ",i, " is ",
        SLPgetname(1,i))
writeln("Column            ",i, " is ",
        SLPgetname(2,i))
writeln("Internal function ",i, " is ",
        SLPgetname(xslp_internalfuncnames,i))
writeln("User function     ",i, " is ",
        SLPgetname(xslp_userfuncnames,i))

Further information

This function is used principally to find the name in the problem of an item referenced by number. It is only useful where the problem is generated using meaningful names (set xslp_loadnames to true). Items are referenced by number particularly when they are passed as data to SLP callbacks.
