Description:
Call a cellset file and return the result set returned from the execution of the file as a cursor.
Syntax:
cursor(dfx,…)
Note:
The function calls a cellset file and returns the result set returned from the execution of the file as a cursor. When there are multiple return statements in the dfx file, first merge the result sets returned by the return statements, and then return the merge result as a cursor. These result sets of return must be of the same structure, or error will be reported. Use either an absolute path or a relative path to search for the dfx file. With the relative path, the search order is Class path –> Search path –> Main directory. The cursor the function returns is irreversible.
Parameter:
dfx |
Cellset file name |
… |
dfx’s parameter |
Option:
@c |
The dfx can be represented by a cell that corresponds to a subroutine defined by func() function |
Return value:
Cursor
Example:
Here’s test.dfx cellset file under the main directory in which arg1 is the cellset parameter:
|
A |
B |
|
1 |
for arg1 |
|
|
2 |
|
=connect("demo").query("select * from GYMNASTICSWOMEN where ID=?",A1) |
|
3 |
|
=B2.derive(avg(VAULT,UNEVENBARS,BALANCEBEAM,FLOOR):Average) |
|
4 |
|
return B3 |
Perform a loop computation and return the result sets. |
|
A |
|
1 |
=[5,10,20,25] |
|
2 |
=cursor("test.dfx",A1) |
Cll test.dfx, pass A1’s sequence as the value of parameter arg1, and return result as a cursor. |
3 |
=A2.fetch() |
Fetch records from the cursor; the result is the union of returned result sets by the loop computation of test.dfx. |
4 |
=call("test.dfx",A1) |
Use call function to call test.dfx but only the result set of the first loop is returned. |
|
A |
B |
|
1 |
func |
|
|
2 |
|
return A1.sum() |
|
3 |
=cursor@c(A1,[2,5,7]) |
|
Call the code block whose master cell is A1. |
4 |
=A3.fetch() |
