E-BASIC: List generates Const for all Attribute names [17973]

This article applies to:

E-Prime 3.0

This item was introduced in E-Prime 2.0 (2.0.1.14).

Detail

E-Prime generates a table of constants to represent user-defined attributes from the List objects in an experiment. These added constants help to reduce the "Script Too Large" error. The following is an example that shows the constants in a List. In the example, ABC, DEF, GHI, and JKL are Attributes added to the List.

' Generates the following table upon the first instance of a List object:

' List Attribute Constants
Const attrib_Weight = "Weight"
Const attrib_Nested = "Nested"
Const attrib_Procedure = "Procedure"
Const attrib_ABC = "ABC"
Const attrib_DEF = "DEF"
Const attrib_GHI = "GHI"
Const attrib_JKL = "JKL"

' Then proceeds to plug the attrib constant in where code generation prompts for it:
TextDisplay1.Text = c.GetAttrib(attrib_ABC)
