Thanks for the tip, that will shorten my code considerably, especially for the SNL programs with many arrays of 100 PV names!

This can be shortened to

The general rule for

	assign arrayvar to {<pv-name-list>}

is that

* missing PV names in <pv-name-list> default to ""
* excess PV names in <pv-name-list> are discarded

This is now documented:
