The SPF_Parse function will return enumerated lists of certain values. To get a particular value from position n of a list, you call one of these functions:
Get_Arg_LRef$(n)
Get_Arg_NumLit$(n)
Get_Arg_Tag$(n)
Get_Arg_TextLit$(n)
However, there is no way to know how many values exist in any one of these lists. The only way to tell is loop through them until one of the functions returns a "" null string.
The suggestion is to provide a way to directly ask for the upper limit of each list. To make them comparable to the standard Get_Arg_Count function, the following names could be used:
Get_Arg_LRef_Count
Get_Arg_NumLit_Count
Get_Arg_Tag_Count
Get_Arg_TextLit_Count
Get_Arg_LRef$(n)
Get_Arg_NumLit$(n)
Get_Arg_Tag$(n)
Get_Arg_TextLit$(n)
