Hi,
Discussion posts and replies are publicly visible
Thanks a lot for your replies.It will give me some new ideas for my next processes.
Thanks for confirming Peter. I wasn't able to find any references in our plugins, but then I did see one note on the Community here regarding makerange() in Appian v6, circa 2009 (below) - our environment started way back in the 5.6 days in 2007 (on 20.3 currently). Don't think that documentation is even posted anymore
>>>>>
makerange() is documented as follows in Version 6: makerange() This function will generate a list of values for a given range. i.e. makerange(4) = {1,2,3,4} ; makerange(4,55) = {55,55,55,55}

Wow. Talk about legacy. To confirm, in my modern (newer) 20.4 environment, makerange() does not function even as an undocumented function (like try() does), so this must be a legacy remnant from the ancient versions as you mentioned.
Yea, that appears to be the case - definitely an artifact! We'll be swapping these references out for repeat() and enumerate() tout suite here. Not sure when I might have noticed that if not for this thread!
Ah that makes sense, it's pretty cool that it's still around on environments that have been around for a while!
