Storing arrays in a custom property

[Mark Smith]

Ian, to store an array, you need to set a customPropertySet:

set the customProperties["uSolutionList"] of this stack to tSolnA

then, to access it

put the uSolutionList[key] of this stack into tVar
set the uSolutionList[key] of this stack to tVar

Best,

Mark
