Re: Access to an element of array NEW in TCL

The way you have it should work i.e. if the NEW array has a field called
duser in it you will be able to access it using $NEW(duser)

Put in an elog notice and do [array names NEW] in it.
Run the function and see what variables are available to you then you
should be able to call them just like shown below

-bash-2.05b$ tclsh
% set NEW(duser) darren
darren
% set NEW(cuser) carl
carl
% foreach id [array names NEW] { puts $NEW($id) }
carl
darren
% puts $NEW(duser)
darren
% puts $NEW(cuser)
carl
