-- Welcome to Director --
tList = [#name: VOID,#age: VOID]
put tList
-- [#name: <Void>, #age: <Void>]
tString = string( tList )
put tString
-- "[#name: <Void>, #age: <Void>]"
fList = value( tString )
put fList
-- <Void>
The docs for vList at updatestage describe the conditions where value()
fails. Also, value() can be slow on a large list/string - if speed is an
issue.
