morph   Description Syntax Examples Argument Types How do I contact the AIS team?

The morph function performs normal Analytic Information Server macro substitution on the input argument, {input}. The input argument {input} may be any Lisp form or forms enclosed in a list. Normally the morph function receives the output of the lisp function. The output of the morph function is a Lisp form, which is the input argument after it has been transformed by macro substitution. Normally the output of morph is input to the compile function, since the morph and lisp functions are called automatically when entering Analytic Information Server expressions.

(morph input altRule altFailure)

Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.

Example_List_morph_001

This example shows simple macro substitution using the morph function.

This example shows macro substitution using an alternative rule function {altRule} and alternative failure {altFailure} options.

Here are the links to the data types of the function arguments.

Here are also a number of links to functions having arguments with any of these data types.
