Retrieve element number in a Array. 1

[dunlop1975]

I am wondering if there is a command to just give me the element number of an item in an array.

I need to save space on the page, this report filters using a dynamic paramater so if 5 items are chosen in the parameter, I would like to be able to use the element# instead of the item that is selected in the parameter (I would list the items with their corresponding element number in the page header)

Sorry the 2nd post was from my phone.

I didnt find any direct syntax that would do what I wanted so used a loop instead

//formula
Local Numbervar i;
Local Stringvar DisplayString;

For i := 1 to ubound({?Parameter}) //loop for each element
Do
if {dbo_Field} = {?Parameter} then Displaystring := "(" & totext(i,0) & ")"; //Determine which element this field matches and store the value in parentheses

DisplayString; //display output
