Need Help with a call

[larrydudash]

Need help with a call
(1) It worked with one variable
(2) Now I want to return three variables
(3) return(A); worked
(4) return(A,B,C); did not work ?
(5) Alos do I have to define these A and B and C in main program
where I use the call ?
(6) Also how does a call statement look different with 3 variables?

If you are referring to the function call() then you may want to see the examples in this thread
If that does not answer your question then you may want to post a working sample of what you are trying to accomplish

calling functions

Alex
If I understand correctly, Esignal can only reply from a call function
with "one"variable.
Thanks
So I will use three of them
NAME1.efs
NAME2.efs
NAME3.efs

Thanks again

or

I may just use one and pack every thing into one big name.
example
"Name_MSRANK_MSTYPE"
"ADI_4_LG"

I am not sure what you mean with "can only reply from a call function with "one"variable.".
Anyhow if you need to retrieve more than one element from a called array you would do something along the lines shown in the example enclosed below (a full working example is available at the thread I indicated)
Alex

var myCall = null;//declare the variable
 
myCall = call("/path/myEFS.efs");//call the function
 
if(myCall==null) return;//null check
 
var myVar1 = myCall[0];//retrieve the first element of the returned array
var myVar2 = myCall[1];//second element
var myVar3 = myCall[2];//third element

A final note

A final note
In programming there is always another way to skin a cat(g)
If you can only read in one varible,
and you want to use the out put of the variable in an excel
spread sheet


then type

"adi,4,LG" (using a coma)

the out put in excel will place adi and 4 and LG in different cols.

Hope this helps some one...
