Hi there. I want to know if a function can return an array as value in the command ENDFUNCTION. This is because, I'm writting a program, where I call a function in begining of it, and then I create an array inside that function. When the function is ended, I return to the top of the program, and I want to use the array again, but then I come with the message that the array doesn't exist. Do I have to create the array outside the function, or what? Thanks.

Yes, declare any array outside of functions and it will become global.

Thanks. I already have fixed that problem. Now I would like to know how to input an array in the Parameter List of a function. I already declared the array outside the function, what I want to know is how to write code.

(1) FUNCTION NAME(ARRAY(N)) or (2) FUNCTION NAME (ARRAY)

I've tried both ways, and it only enters the firs number in the array. For example, if I put the array (1,2,3), I only get insede the function (1,0,0). Am I doing something wrong? or is it just something that can't be done?

Thanks, again.

im not sure, but in JAVA if you wanted to pass the whole array you would just do #2. but im not sure in DB, its prolly the same.

Two words, moo.

You don't need to pass the array into the function... It is global remember?
So therefore, you can have anything like:



Hope I Helped...
