How can I build a container ? [Solved]

[atout66]

Hi to all,

Is there a way in LC to build a container so I don't have to write a long piece of words all the time ?
The code below is NOT OK while compiling in the editor code

Code: Select all

put card "myCard" of stack "myStack" into laCard

The var <laCard> is supposed to let me reference a field "myField" just like that:

Code: Select all

get fld "myField" of laCard

Instead of :

Code: Select all

get fld "myField" of card "myCard" of stack "myStack" -- which is correct but too long to write

Any idea around ?
Thanks in advance, Jean-Paul.

Bonjour jean-Pau,

you can use "the long ID of ..."!
...
put the long ID of card "myCard" of stack "myStack" into laCard

## If you'd like to see what that gives
## answer laCard
...

Then access its content like you already wrote:
...
put fld "myField" of laCard into tVariable
...

Best

Klaus
