tcl Kill – multiple options?

[Neema Kapadia]

I am trying to figure out the exact difference between the following two tcl commands.  Both of them seem to delete the intended message but not for all scenarios.  

At times the lappend command leaves the message in the Recovery database (in #10 status) and I am not sure why?

1) return “{KILL $mh}”

2) lappend dispList “KILL $mh”

Thank you.

With the lappend are you returning the dispList to the engine?

I am creating a new mh ($newmh) which I am returning to the engine while the original $mh needs to be killed and that is what the lappend does for me but only in certain circumstances.  For other scenarios I had to use the return to kill the $mh because lappend was not working for me.  😕

The two are the same assuming the variable dispList is empty at the time or does not exist

If having problems echo out the contents of dispList just before you return.  See what you are actually returning
