Find the syntax, use, parameters, return values, and an example for the Browse Authority Expanded macro command in Connexion client.
Syntax BOOL = CS.BrowseAuthorityExpanded (nRecOffset, sRootIndex, sRootTerm, sExpanded Term)
Use to Options:
  1. Browse the Authority File using an expanded scan. That is, specify a heading and subheading for an Authority File browse.

    Same as entering a heading and an expanded term in the Browse Authority File window (Authorities > Browse > Authority File) (nRecOffset = 0).
     
  2. Expand a scan by specifying a subheading for a specific entry in an Authority File browse results list.

    Same as entering an expanded term for an entry in a Browse Authority File List of results (nRecOffset = 1 - xxx = number of entry in browse list).
Parameters
  • For nRecOffset, enter the number 0 for option 1 described above, or enter 1 - [any browse list record number] for option 2 described above.
  • For sRootIndex, enter the index label for the index you want to browse. Specify for Option 1 only. See Browsing the authority file: Indexes.
  • For sRootTerm, enter a browse string for a heading (in upper- or lowercase), enclosed in quotation marks. Specify for option 1 only.
  • For sExpandedTerm, enter a browse string for a subheading (in upper- or lowercase), enclosed in quotation marks.
Comments You must be logged on to run this macro.
Return values TRUE if the expanded browse is successful, or FALSE if not.
