What I was looking for was a way to defer my results until after my
actions had been completed, for example to generate content-specific
<title> and <meta> within the head, as:
<@RESULTSVAR NAME="body"> <!-- send results to the body variable -->
do my database actions
<@RESULTSVAR NAME="resultsHTML"> <!-- a reserved word for the normal
output variable -->
<!DOCTYPE ...
<html><head><title>@@request$title</title>...</head> <!-- variables
set in the actions above -->
<body><@VAR SCOPE="request" NAME="body" ENCODING="html"></body></html>
Of course there are numerous programatic ways to achieve this:
<@PURGERESULTS>
do my database actions
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="request" NAME="body" VALUE="<@RESULTS>">
<@PURGERESULTS>
<!DOCTYPE ...
<html><head><title>@@request$title</title>...</head>
<body><@VAR SCOPE="request" NAME="body" ENCODING="html"></body></html>
I just think it would be more maintainable, and much more flexible to
specify variable(s) into which results accumulate. For example, the
presentation of error trapping could be deferred.

You can't assign results that don't exist yet. So I don't think a
feature request is going to help you on that.
You would have to move your method, that needs all the results, to
after the results are available, in <@results>

Very cool, yeah it looks like <@results> grabs all the results up
to that point in the file but where i want to assign the sql/
witango to a variable is somewhere in the middle unfortunately :P
oh well, something for the future hopefully! (:

I've asked for this feature already. It would be similar to
returning your results html from a method call, or like an encoding
attribute that let you specify the variable to which the results are
appended.
