I don't think it's any different than returning from a function..although I haven't done it this way much. I'm not sure if you can pass arrays this way for instance but that could just be converted into a return-delimited table.

This would be useful for a custom Answer or Ask dialog that would work the same way with the same params.


Is anyone aware of any drawbacks in using 'the result' as a container for passing, say, a bunch of records from one handler to another? Like this:


on processRecords
  getRecords
  put the result into tRecordList
  repeat for each line tLine in it
    -- your code here
  end repeat
end processRecords


on getRecords
  put the uBigList of stack "XYZ" into tList
  delete stack "XYZ" -- to remove it from memory
  return tList
end getRecords


Any drawbacks? Speed or memory or other issues?

I realize there are clearer, cleaner ways to do this... in a new dev (read "perfect") world at least. But I'm not in that world at the moment.

Thanks -
