From what I've seen in the posts lately, it would appear that arrays are global and can be accessed inside of functions... is this correct?

Are variables outside of functions accessible in functions?

I saw a post about using #include to load functions - do the functions loaded this way work just like they where inlined at the point of the #include statement (i.e., do they had the same access to arrays and or variables?).

TYPEs: can I pass a "type" variable to a function and access its members inside the function normally?

Thanks,

Ed

In answer to your questions:

Yes - arrays are global
No - variables outside functions are not accessible inside functions
Yes - functions are inlined at the point of #include
??? - There are no types in DB. In DBPro, the answer to this one is no but we're hoping.

DBC has types with psuedo array compilation using dark edit.

variables in DBP can be globalised but not in DBC

u can duplicate variable names to hand them over from functions but it gets pretty messy in this regard.
