Identifying SCL Lists

You access lists with a list identifier, a unique value assigned to each list that you create. You must store the list identifier in an SCL variable and then reference that variable in each operation that you perform on the list. All the SCL functions that manipulate lists use the list identifier as an argument.

Note: Assigning a list identifier to another variable does not copy the list. The two variables simply refer to the same list. To copy the contents of a list to an existing or new list, use the COPYLIST function. [cautionend]
