Thanks - yes, I could do that, but then it is not equivalent to a table,
as I have to use VARIABLEVALUE() and for a table VARIABLETABLE. I
actually wanted to get rid of this inconsistencies.

I could obviously define an R source code block to return the table
defined before in org, but this is not nice at all...

Cheers,

Rainer
