Can external methods set/send back variables to the calling document/method?
External methods can modify the current REQUEST object that the DTML uses from name resolution. If you are calling the external method from within the DTML, just use 'self.REQUEST' to access the current REQUEST object. Just create/set items on it like it was a dictionary...
sekf.REQUEST['new_key'] = new_value
Alternatively your external method can return objects to the calling DTML. for an external method spammethod you could do omething like: class A: pass def spammethod(self,n): a=[] for i in range(n): tmp=A() tmp.no=i a.append(tmp) return a Then in your DTML you can do something like <!--# in "spammethod(20)" sort=no --> <!--# var no --> <!--#/in--> Pavlos
