You can build it up "piece by piece" using CREATE_STRUCT's ability to
extend structures, like:

myStruct=create_struct('tag1',100)
myStruct=create_struct(myStruct,'tag2',200)
...

which could easily be made into a general function. This is inefficient
for large structures, since it copies and extends the structure once for
each tag, but at least it works.

I suspect RSI decided that if all your values are the same type, you could
just put them in an array and save yourself the trouble of making a
structure out of them... and maybe they have a point.
