SetXOR()

Summary

Selects features that are in only one of several selection sets.

 

Syntax

n = SetXOR(string set_name, array input_sets)

 

Argument	Contents
set_name	The name of the set to be created
input_sets	The list of sets to search

 

Returns

The number of elements in the set.

 

Notes

• If the set does not already exist, it is created. If it already exists, the contents of the set are replaced.

• SetXOR() fills the new set with records that are in any one of the input sets, but not in more than one.

• All selection commands operate on the current layer.

Examples

n = SetXOR("Rich or Male-not Both", {"Rich Persons", "Males"})

 

nrecs = SetXOR("X", {"X", "Y", "Z"}) // X = in one of X or Y or Z

 

Error Codes

Error Type	Meaning
Error	The set name is invalid or one of the input sets is invalid
NotFound	One of the input sets does not exist
