Hi Emmanuel
I'm a bit late to the party but here goes:

If in doubt, always refer to the SNL Reference ;-)

pvAssign is not a statement, but a (built-in) function. See
http://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/sequencer/Reference.html#pvassign
This means you can call it anywhere in action code. Typical places are: in a
global entry block, in an entry block of some initial state of some state set,
in a state transition from some initial state.

Yes, this is necessary because all (potentially) assign'ed variables must be
known statically. There are shorthands for this:
array int x[20];
double v;
assign v; /* same as assign v to "" */
assign x to {}; /* assign all elements to "" */

If you mean: before pvAssign was called (on some or all of the elements),
then: yes.

There are built-in functions pvConnected and pvAssigned, see
http://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/sequencer/Reference.html#pvconnected
and
http://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/sequencer/Reference.html#pvassigned

If someone has a nice, self-contained example program to illustrate these
things, I will happily add it to the examples directory.
Cheers
