List (LST) Condition

This condition type is used for conditions that specify a list of values that a status field may take. Each LST condition is made up of one or more VAL conditions.

When you specify this condition type, a special LST condition, *ALL values, is created as soon as a condition for the field is defined.

LST conditions have a special use in specifying field value checking in Display Device type functions. If you specify a Check condition for a field using the Edit Field Details panel or the Edit Screen Entry Details panel, CA 2E generates the necessary code to ensure that any value entered is a valid condition in the list for all interactive functions that use that field.

If you add or modify values within the LST condition, you will need to recompile the functions that use the field. The validation check will then include your changes.
