put cdb_list(tTable,tTarget,tKeys) into tOutputA

[Linda Lu]

I have confirmed that cdb_list is working with the target parameter "local."

Here are two methods you can try with the code you provided: placing cdb_list into a global variable or changing getVenueList1 to a function and returning cdb_list.

1) Using a global variable

Code:

global gMyVenueList

on mouseUp pButtonNumber
getVenueList1 
put gMyVenueList into field "sourceList"
end mouseUp

command getVenueList1 
local tTable, tTarget, tKeys
cdb_loadTable "venues"
put "venues" into tTable
put "local" into tTarget
put "VenueName" into tKeys
put cdb_list(tTable,tTarget,tKeys) into gMyVenueList
end getVenueList1

2) Changing getVenueList1 to a function

Code:

on mouseUp pButtonNumber
put getVenueList1() into field "sourceList"
end mouseUp

function getVenueList1 
local tTable, tTarget, tKeys
cdb_loadTable "venues"
put "venues" into tTable
put "local" into tTarget
put "VenueName" into tKeys
return cdb_list(tTable,tTarget,tKeys)
end getVenueList1
