Does anyone use the LIST functions, and if so are there any quirks to use them? I seem the be having some trouble getting them to display

Chris,

When you say, "display" -- I assume you know that LIST_TABLE can only be used inside tags in MS Word documents.

Chris,

Can you explain how you are trying to use the functions and what you are trying to accomplish?

Christopher,

I just sent over an email with a BSV showing LINE and LIST_LINE functions used in a presentation. I did not know those functions could be used in that way before Him's post.

Here is the usage

1. LIST usage this we use in the presentation of business object.
LIST(businessObject.reference,'','Description')

above param we pass are
businessObject
reference - Other Object reference
'' - leave empty or use any delimeter
'Description' - attributeName of reference Object.

2. LIST_LINE usage this we have use in the rules of business object.
LIST_LINE('FIND BO WHERE condition ','',',','attributeName')

above param we pass are
'FIND BO WHERE condition' - here we can pass the query
2nd and 3rd parameter are for the delimeter use to distiguish and
concat results.
4th param attributeName of the business object.

please use singe Quotes at every place otherwise it makes problem.!!
i think this much help in some way...
