I used the MAP command very rarely, and I forgot it wanted to change flags, although the
50g advanced user guide v2 manual doesn't tell anything about flags to be set (normally there is a remark about flags).
While searching the web in the hope that someone talked about it, I found this somewhat interesting conversation from 2002:
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.hp48/c/84oio2JknbQ (that went off topic after a bit).
I did not know that
MAP affected flags. Which ones?
MAP is also slow, even compared to
DOLIST which isn't very fast. Here is a fast replacement for
MAP using ListExt commands. It works for matrices or vectors but not for lists. It does not change the type of the array. The function can be a program, a list or a null-tagged object.
Code:
\<< SWAP OBJ\-> DUP \-> s
\<< LPROD \->LIST SWAP LXEQ s \->ARRY
\>>

Thanks John for sharing, I'll put it in the collection of code snippets (see wiki4hp). I am not entirely sure which flags it wanted to change, as when I used it today in a program there was a popup asking me flags changes and I clicked cancel. Then I remembered that in the past I used the procedure store the flags, change what map wanted, and then recall the flags again.
For reference, the program was like
Code:
InputList @ a list of reals if I am not wrong
\<<
IF @yes, IFTE would work too
maxValue >
THEN
1
ELSE
0
END
\>>
MAP
update: added the code here
