CF Authors Update your Functions for 8.5...

[Ocean West]

there is a new built in function in FileMaker Pro 8.5 called "List ( field {; field...} )

If you have created a custom function or are using a custom fuction that uses the word "list" as a parameter you may be experience undesireable resutls.

If you are trying to paste in a CF forumula into your solution you will be prevented from using that term in your function, forcing you to rename all instances from your CF unless you are actually using the built in List function with the correct parameters..

As described in the FileMaker 8.5 Help.

Parameter

Description

Returns a concatenated list of non-blank values (separated by carriage returns) for either:

	 a single field (table::field), calculates a single result over all repetitions (if any) for this field and over all matching related records, whether or not these records appear in a portal.

	 several fields and/or literal values (table::field1,constant,table::field2...), calculates a separate result for each repetition of the calculation across each corresponding repetition of the fields. If any fields are related, only the first related record is used.
