Thanks for all your help!
You suggested that the loop could be replaced by a "loopless"
single-line version. Does your suggestion apply only to my posted
"simplified" version? The "real" version's loop (now incorporating your
solution) looks more like this, where "cleanfield" is an explicit
definition for doing some cleanup work (for testing purposes,
"cleanfield" definition contents of something like 'xxx',y works
fine):
for_j. (i. numrows) do.
isbnfld=. <cleanfield >0{j_index{table NB. get and modify ISBN cell
contents
table=. isbnfld (<j_index,0)} table NB. replace ISBN cell
contents in table
end.
Is this complication of including a called function still amenable in
some way to your single-line suggestion above? It would sure be great
if it could. Thanks!
Harvey
