ch.()
Description:
Attach a computation to a channel and return the orignal channel.
Syntax:
|
ch.(x) |
|
|
ch.() |
Return the channel ch itself |
Note:
The function attaches a computation to channel ch, which will compute expression x over each of its members, and returns the original channel.
This is an attachment function.
Parameter:
|
ch |
A channel |
|
x |
An expression, which is a field name generally or a legal expression consisting of field names; use ~ to reference the current record |
Return value:
Channel
Example:

1 |
=demo.cursor("select EID,NAME,BIRTHDAY,SALARY from EMPLOYEE where EID<10") |
|
|
|
|
2 |
=channel() |
=channel() |
=channel() |
Create channels A2, B2 and C2. |
|
3 |
=A2.(age(BIRTHDAY)) |
|
|
Attach a computation to channel A2, which will compute age(BIRTHDAY) on BIRTHDAY’s members, and return result to the channel. |
|
4 |
=A2.fetch() |
|
|
Execute result set function in channel A2 and keep the current data in channel. |
|
5 |
=B2.(SALARY) |
|
|
Attach a computation to channel B2, which will compute SALARY column, and return the original channel B2. |
|
6 |
=B2.(~*1.2) |
|
|
Attach a computation to channel B2, which will use ~ to reference the current member of the sequence to compute SALARY*1.2, and return the original channel B2. |
|
7 |
=B2.fetch() |
|
|
Execute result set function in channel B2 and keep the current data in channel. |
|
8 |
=C2.() |
|
|
Return channel C2. |
|
9 |
=C2.fetch() |
|
|
Execute result set function in channel C2 and keep the current data in channel. |
|
10 |
=A1.push(A2,B2,C2) |
|
|
Be ready to push data in A1’s cursor into channel A2, B2 and C2, but the action needs to wait. |
|
11 |
=A1.fetch() |
|
|
Fetch data from cursor A1 while pushing data into the channel to execute the attached computation and keep the result.
|
|
12 |
=A2.result() |
|
|
Get channel A2’s result:
|
|
13 |
=B2.result() |
|
|
Get channel B2’s result:
|
|
14 |
=C2.result() |
|
|
Get channel C2’s result: |
