List objects can be created with the MakeList() function, or can also be created by expanding a scalar variable. To expansion of a scalar variable can be done as follows;
<!--- Create a scalar ---> <SASET NAME=var VALUE="123">
<!--- Upgrade scalar to list ---> <SASET NAME=var[] VALUE="456">
<!--- Add another value to the 'new' LIST ---> <SASET NAME=var[] VALUE="789">
With this code, we have now created a LIST obect with three elements. var[0] is 123, var[1] is 456 and var[2] is 789.
Using the MakeList() function, we could have done the same thing as follows; <SASET NAME=var VALUE=MakeList( ":", "123:456:789" )>
