$assigrow problem

Actually, in older versions, you could use the schema class and it would 
create a table instance without the need for using a table class. 

You also still had the ability to use the row defined methods of insert, 
fetch, etc; however, you could not override them as you could in a table 
class (which I believe still holds true) and you had to take the extra 
step of notationally setting the  session obj..

Do ivUserAccessRow.$definefromsqlclass('scUserAccess')
Do ivUserAccessRow.$sessionobject.$assign(tvSessObj) Returns 
lvRtnFlag     ;; point it to our V# session object, tvSessObj

..now the list defined methods will work.

For the most part, I have defined my lists and rows from schema classes 
and used the sessionobject's methods for $fetch, $select, $delete, etc.  
this made converting v2 type code from earilier version of omnis (Omnis 
7), easier.
