Select all layer objects

[GeryKnee]

The following

(defun C:SelLayerObjects(/)
(setq LayName (getstring "Layername : "))
(ssget "X" '((8 . LayName)))
(princ)
)

must after execution leave a selextion of all object laying on layer Layname.

What is wrong and doesn't word??

(defun C:SelLayerObjects (/)
  (setq LayName (getstring "Layername : "))
  (setq ss (ssget "X" (list ( cons 8  LayName))))
  (sssetfirst nil ss)
  (princ)
)
