Inserting and Replacing Items in Lists

To insert and replace items in a list, use the SETITEMN, SETNITEMN, SETITEMC, SETNITEMC, SETITEML, SETNITEML, SETITEMO, or SETNITEMO function. These functions can assign values to existing items or they can add new items.

With arrays, you use

A{i}=x;

but with SCL lists, you use

rc=setitemn(listid,x,i);

To add a new item to a list without replacing the existing items, use the INSERTC, INSERTL, INSERTN, or INSERTO function.
