APP_NAME_LIST permits the server configuration file to create a list of arbitrary names that can be retrieved by clients. The names are any text string not containing spaces. If spaces are desired, the text string can be placed in quotes, however, the quotes will be part of the text string on retrieval.
As many APP_NAME_LIST entries as required may be created in the configuration file. For example: a list of file names may be created and then the names of the files can be retrieved by the client application. Further, by convention, one could use a delimiter to add parameters to the end of the string. Assuming, for the sake of example, that a pound sign (#) is used as a delimiter, then some entries could be added as follows:
APP_NAME_LIST first.dat#parm11#parm12#parm13
APP_NAME_LIST second.dat#parm21#parm22#parm23#parm24
It is up to the client application to determine how to parse the APP_NAME_LIST string that is returned in its entirety by calls to the c-tree GetSymbolicNames() API function.
The text string used in APP_NAME_LIST entries have the following restrictions:
