O$5 - $loadcols - loading list values without 'Set Current List'

[Mischa]

Hi Bruno,

welcome to the boat ;)
like you, I also had difficulties from switching from O7 to O$ list
paradigm. the other nice thing with lists, that is not very well explained
in the manuals, is $assignrow()
You can load a complete row from the list with

Do MyRow.$assignrow(MyList)

 where MyRow and MyList have the same definition. Studio again takes the
current line of the list. The command also works the other way round:

Do MyList.$assignrow(MyRow) overwrites the current line of MyList with the
contents of MyRow. So this is a full replacement for Load from list and
Replace line in list, in case you do not want to manipulate list values
directly or need the row elsewhere in your application.

Best greetings
Mischa

iList.someColField as 'new value'  doesn't require that the list be
(re)defined for variables that are in scope for your calculation.
