Expanding a DB variable
|
Is there any way, when expanding a DB variable to either A) Display the value THEN the key, or B) align the values into a neat column, for example:
A) Display the value then the key:
[value1] Key1
[value2] Key2
[value3] key3
et cetera...
B} align the values into a column:
Key1---------[value1]
Longerkey2---[value2]
3-------------[value3]
et cetera... (only, without the dashes which were added so they would line up in the forum)
And if possible, as I have shown, I would like the value to be displayed inside of brackets. I've been fiddling with %expanddb and searching the help files and related commands, but I can't figure out a way to do either |

Write your own display routine with #LOOPDB.
A) Put %val first and %key second
B) Use %len() to determine the length of each key and %repeat() to add however many spaces are needed before the value. Or, use %format(). Or, use some other formatting method that you think up. |
