Syntax
put( &array, index, value )
Arguments
&array
Array variable containing the element whose value you want to change.
index
Integer value representing the position of the element in the array.

Note that you can also use the assignment operator to assign a value to a variable. See "= (operator)" (page 391).
Syntax
set( name, value )
Arguments
name
Variable name, prefixed with the ampersand (&) character. The variable name must already exist.
value
New value to store in the variable. This value can be any valid PlanetPress Talk expression, as long as its type is the same as
the variable's original type.

set( &invoice_number, (&invoice_number + 1) )
set( &is_bottom, (not(&is_top) and not(&is_middle)) )
