Easier to read, but ABSOLUTLEY the slowest method, ok for small arrays that
get assembled or disassembled once during execution, but if you are in a
loop or if your arrays can be big use -1 and REMOVE.

I always use A.VAR :=
@AM[1,NOT(NOT(A.VAR))]:NEW.DATA
It is much more reliable and much quicker than -1
This is probably for people who want the position of
the item in the list to be significant. (The empty
values being wanted) I find the code is easier on the
eyes to do:
NB +=1
A.VARNB =

Oh yeah, sure. I agree. Using LOCATE or FOR/NEXT is my preferred method,
but the -1 does come in handy in some cases, and actually was the main
point of the original posting (see bottom in case you weren't following this

Well, you know they say one man's bug is another man's feature (or Woman)!

Nobody seems to have mentioned the logic ...
Again, I can't speak for Pick behaviour
Previously, code of A1,-1 = B, when B was blank made no change to A.
Now a value mark is added. If the last char is a value mark, it doesn't add
another one.
I consider this a bug, as it changes old behaviour.
Does anyone but me think this is a problem?
Using Universe 10.1.18 PICK flavour on
It's been around for a long time, which is why $OPTIONS EXTRA.DELIM exists. I
don't often work in Pick flavor, so can't speak authoritatively as to what
proper default behaviour ought to be. But what you describe is, was, and
should be the default behaviour in the non-Pick flavors.

Oops, should have been

Gosh, a bug in an example, how embarrassing ;-)

I would have to

QTY.SHIPPED1,-1 = REC2
IF REC3 = THEN
HANDLING.CODE1,-1 := REC3

Is was not a bug, it was a feature!
We use it to add a subfield if there is data, but not to add blank
subfields. Great!
New behaviour is not as if $OPTIONS EXTRA.DELIM is set (thanks Ray), as it
only adds one extra delim. Still not suitable when keeping several items in
synch.
