Pick Lists with Multiple Source of Data

Pick lists in a combo box could be populated by:

A String variable containing a comma-separated list, like,

"Yes,No,Don't Know"

A code list specified by code <Code-Type>, like,

code Customer Group

A SQL statement, like,

select xgitem from caitem group by xgitem

When a pick list is to be populated by combining multiple sources, separate each source-specs by double semi-colon “;;”. For instance,

"Yes, No, Don't Know";;code Customer Group;;select xgitem from caitem

If you are incorporating a combo box in a menu, you need to replace special characters with their equivalent ascii character-based #char function. For instance, to combine the first two sources, specify

... xgitem=Delivery Option=All=combo="+#char(34)+"Yes,No, Don't Know"+#char(34)+";;code Customer Group)" ...
