How can I pick up values of variables for previous bars?

[jcm21]

When I have my own declared variable "output2" as in:
var output2=xxxx+yyyy;
How can I pick up values of output2 for previous bars?

[jcm21]

I have re-phrased my original question as displayed here in this "reply".

Please help.

How can I pick up values of output2 for previous bars
when I have declared my own variable "output2"?

...
...
var output2=xxxx+yyyy;
...
...
return new Array (output2,output5,output6);

I have tried ref(), getvalue(), etc.

output2 is not the only variable returned ?

When output2 is not the only variable returned from the main program will the proposed solution still work?
(i.e.)
function main()
{
...
...
var output2=xxxx+yyyy;
...
...
return new Array (output2,output5,output6);
}

Please ignore the last reply

Please ignore the last reply (from me). I think I just verified that, yes, when output2 is not the only variable returned from the main program the proposed solution will work. So I think this is the end of this thread. Thanks again Alex for your help.

ONE MORE QUESTION

I take it back - the last reply was not the last.

One more question:

In summary, is it true that I can use the ref() function only if only one variable is returned from Main?
(and therefore if multiple values are returned the method explained in this thread must be used ?)

You can use the ref() function also when you are returning an array of values. See this thread for an example
