The Function Arguments[] Property in Siebel eScript

The arguments[] property is an array of the arguments passed to a function. The first variable passed to a function is referred to as arguments[0], the second as arguments[1], and so forth.

This property allows you to have functions with an indefinite number of arguments. Here is an example of a function that takes a variable number of arguments and returns the sum:

function SumAll()
{
   var total = 0;
   for (var ssk = 0; ssk < SumAll.arguments.length; ssk++)
{
      total += SumAll.arguments[ssk];
}
   return total;
}

NOTE:  The arguments[] property for a particular function can be accessed only from within that function.
