What is makerange()

Question

I'm running into an error in an old process model regarding an unrecognized function, "makerange()". A forum search suggests that this function belongs to a shared component, but I'm unable to figure out which component that would be. How can I enable the use of this function? OriginalPostID-251256

enumerate() is not a one to one replacement for makerange(). 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} enumerate() is documented as follows in Version 7: enumerate() Returns a list of integer numbers from 0 through n-1. repeat() is documented as follows in Version 7: repeat() Returns a list with the specified number of items. For example, repeat(2,"hello") returns {"hello","hello"}. Example Result Sets: makerange(10) creates a result set of {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} makerange(10,null) creates a result set of { , , , , , , , , , } makerange(10,true()) creates a result set of {1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1} makerange(10,5) creates a result set of {5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5} enumerate(10) creates a result set of {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} enumerate(10) + true() creates a result set of {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} enumerate(10) + 1 creates a result set of {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} repeat(5,null) creates a result set of { , , , , } repeat(5,true()) creates a result set of {1,1,1,1,1} Since enumerate() and repeat() replace makerange()'s dual functionality you'll need to determine which function meets your needs on a case by case basis.
