Anyone have any idea why this script:

#Say Pre-pop dbML: *@dbMatchList*
ThisRecNum = %pop(dbMatchList)
#Say Post-pop dbML: *@dbMatchList*
#Say This Recnum: *@ThisRecNum*

would yield:

Pre-pop dbML: *2eq|4eq|42eq|45eq*
Post-pop dbML: **
This Recnum: **

hmmmm.....
I must have been staring at it too long and can't see what I did wrong! ;) Can anyone see why pop is clearing out the contents of dbMatchList?

Ver 6.62, database is open, dbMatchList contains the correct information in string-list form.

Can't get it to fail. I just entered these commands into zMUD:
#VAR dbMatchList {2eq|4eq|42eq|45eq}
#SAY Pre-pop dbML: *@dbMatchList*
ThisRecNum = %pop(dbMatchList)
#SAY Post-pop dbML: *@dbMatchList*
#SAY This Recnum: *@ThisRecNum*

and the result was:
Pre-pop dbML: *2eq|4eq|42eq|45eq*
Post-pop dbML: *4eq|42eq|45eq*
This Recnum: *2eq*

So, if you enter those commands too, outside of your script, it does not produce those results? There appears to be nothing wrong with the commands you provided.
