## COMMALISTS

A commalist is a list of items, usually delimited with commas. For example:

    	Harry,Ron,Hermione

Commalists allow a set of values to be manipulated as a unit, which is often convenient. There are conditional expression operators and functions that can process commalists.``

Commalists may be suitable when individual values are known to be small in size (such as integer id numbers) and where it is known that there will not be a large number of choices. The total length of a commalist is limited to 250 characters.``

The separator character is comma by default. This cannot be "escaped" but it may be changed to another character using the script directive #control listsep .
