it is almost always useless, because it can't be used with structured lists. :roll:

But it CAN.
Code: Select all
; Suggestion
AddElement(StructuredList())\Field1 = Value1
StructuredList()\Field2 = Value2
; Current
AddElement(StructuredList())
StructuredList()\Field1 = Value1
StructuredList()\Field2 = Value2
; Suggestion saves 1 line per added item for structured lists.
; Suggestion
AddElement(List()) = Value
; Current
AddElement(List())
List() = Value
; Suggestion saves 1 line per added item for unstructured list
; Since it saves the same amount of lines per added item for both
; unstructred and structured lists it is just as useful for structured lists.

AddElement() is a regular Function.
You cannot have a function on the left hand side of an assignment,
and changing this just for this special case does not make much sense imho.

Code: Select all
Procedure FunctionOnTheLeftSide()
ProcedureReturn 1
EndProcedure
Dim Array(10)
Array(FunctionOnTheLeftSide()) = 1
In pascal you can access the structure members of functions that returns pointers to structures. That's very handy.

I see a problem with your reasoning: this is
not a chicken.
