Populating a number field using LotusScript

Here's a quick way to populate a number field on a Lotus Notes UI document with a processed list using LotusScript. Just create a number field with "allow multiple values" and "computed when composed" selected. Then, simply make a button with the following LotusScript code:

 
Sub Click(Source As Button)
 Dim w As New notesUIWorkspace
 Dim uidoc As notesUIDocument
 Dim doc As notesDocument
 Set uidoc = w.currentDocument
 Set doc = uidoc.document
 
 Dim idlist As Variant
idlist = Evaluate(|@DbColumn
("Notes":"NoCache";"";"yourview";1)|, doc)
 Dim a() As Integer
 Redim a(0)
 Forall v In idlist
  a(Ubound(a)) = v
  Redim Preserve a(Ubound(a)+1)
 End Forall
 Redim Preserve a(Ubound(a)-1) 
 doc.yournumberfield = a
 Call doc.Save( True, True )
End Sub
