create tables of variables in Diadem Report.

is there a way to do the same thing with the python engine?

Hi Carlos,

Should be able to, but I have not actually tried it.

Hi Carlos,

Yes, this is how you elevate a python array to global status in DIAdem-- by creating an empty global variable and then assigning the python array variable to it:

string_array = []
string_array.append("value0")
string_array.append("value1")
string_array.append("value2")
string_array.append("value3")
string_array.append("value4")

dd.GlobalDim("MyStringArray")
dd.MyStringArray = string_array

You still end up with a global VBScript array, but it can be easily filled by python code.  I'm including the python script and the TDR file that references the global "MyStringArray" variable in a table and a text box.
