YANK()

This function removes any record from any stack belonging to any IMOD.

Syntax

record = YANK(recnum,[stack],[owner],[cntl])

Parameters

record

Returned record or error text.

recnum

Record number to be removed from the stack.

stack

Number of the stack to be referenced.

Default: If a local stack is referenced, the current stack (as set by the SWAPSTAK() function). Otherwise, the owning IMOD task sets the value using the PUBSTACK(DEFAULT) function.

owner

IMOD ID of the owner of the stack (for external reference). This value can be obtained from the variable imod_id in the owning IMOD task. It is also the value that the SPAWN() function returns.

Default: Current IMOD task.

cntl

Name of a variable to receive the control information that is stored with the record. The default is not to retrieve control information.

Example

rec = yank(2)               /* Record number 2 is removed from the
                               current stack  */
rec = yank(2,5)             /* Record number 2 is removed from
                               local stack 5  */
rec = yank(2,,453,'data')   /* Record 2 is removed from IMOD 453's
                               information is stored in the
                               variable data. */

Usage Notes

YANK() can specify a stack external to an IMOD only when the target stack has been declared public for reading and writing.
