I have some code that I used in my demonstration today (arguably the
only person presenting with Lasso 8) that I am trying to port to 9.

There is a type I have in my system called config_in and config out.
These types allow me to store config in a framework in the type
instead of having variables floating around and around. This is a
simple framework called Veldt (because that's where Rhinos roam
right?) so there are references to that in the descriptions.

Here is the code:

[define_type(
'config_in',
-description='Veldt configuration config setting'
);

define_tag(
'onCreate'
//-req='key',
//-opt='output'
);
/define_tag;

define_tag(
'_unknowntag',
-encodenone
);
local('params') = array;

if(params->size);
iterate(params, local('i'));
if (#i->size > 1 && #i->type != 'string');
if (
((#i->first) != '-username') &&
((#i->first) != '-password') &&
((#i->first) != '-database')
);
local('n') = string(#i->first)->removeleading('-')&;
else;
local('n') = string(#i->first);
local('m') = string(#i->second);
/if;
else;
local('n') = #i;
/if;

if (#i->type == 'array');
local('ar'=array);
iterate(#i, local('j'));
#ar->insert(#j);
/iterate;
#params=#ar;
else if (#i->type == 'map');
local('mp'=map);
iterate(#i, local('j'));
#mp->insert(#j->first = #j->second);
/iterate;
#params=#mp;
else if(#i->type == 'pair');
#params->insert(#n = #i->second);
else if(#i->type == 'string');
#params=string(#n);
else if(#i->type == 'boolean');
#params=#n;
else;
/if;
$config->insert(tag_name = #params);

/iterate;
else;

/if;

local('response') = (tag_name = #params);

return(#response);
/define_tag;


/define_type;

define_type(
'config_out',
-description='Veldt configuration config retrieval'
);

define_tag(
'onCreate'
//-req='key',
//-opt='output'
);
/define_tag;

define_tag(
'_unknowntag',
-encodenone
);
//return($config->find(tag_name)->first->value->size)
return($config->find(tag_name));

/define_tag;
/define_type;

// End of /system/libraries/config_in.inc
]

There error I am getting is " Error while parsing. Unexpected: ASSIGN
line: 68, col: 33"

This is the line that is throwing that--
local('response') = (tag_name = #params);
