in routine: utilities of <>

[samp]

hi,
working on ds7.5, unix environment

i've got a pb.

i don't understand this part of my routine:

-------------------

Seq = ""
Rep=""

***define

Rep<-1>="NameofJob" : @VM: "nameofdirectory"

seq<-1>=resultofaroutine1.
--------------------

the @VM corresponds to wich separator?

which means the bracket <> ? i guess it is for an array...

i would like to store the result of a second routine in an other "part of seq" . ..
is seq<-2>=resultofroutine2 ok?

thanks

The "@VM" is a "value mark" and is used to store multiple values in a dynamic array (a string). The "<-1>" means "append value to dynamic array", so you would just do a "seq<-1>=resultofaroutine2" to append another value to the seq list.
