Strange SUB reaction...

[JoaoAfonso]

Ahoy.

I am posting today to ask if there is an easy answer for what's happening in one of my programs:
- I have declared the following at the begining of program:
    def camposacado[20]:string
    DECLARE printterreno(nchar:int,terreno:string)
- Then in middle of code, I wrote the following (this messagebox is just to check what is the actual camposacado[3] string):
    messagebox 0,camposacado[3],"ni"
    printterreno(x,camposacado[3])
- And this is the sub printterreno (again with a messagebox to check terreno string):
    sub printterreno(nchar:int,terreno:string)
    messagebox 0,terreno,"ni"

The strange thing is that the result of the first messagebox is what is expected, but the second one isn't... any clue?

Hi,

I've seen this before, and Paul's comment was:

Code Select Expand

Creative/IB Std never had the facility for nested brackets.  It's something I am going to address.


So, for the moment, you would have to use:

Code Select Expand

openconsole

cls

def camposacado[20]:string

camposacado[3] = "test"

DECLARE printterreno(nchar:int,terreno:string)

x = 1

'- Then in middle of code, I wrote the following (this messagebox is just to check what is the actual camposacado[3] string):
messagebox 0,camposacado[3],"ni"

a$ = camposacado[3]

printterreno(x,a$)

do:until inkey$<>""
closeconsole
end


sub printterreno(nchar,terreno)
'- And this is the sub printterreno (again with a messagebox to check terreno string):

messagebox 0,terreno,"nisub"

return

or, pass the entire array camposacado[] to the subroutine, and pick out the element you need within the sub ..  , but I haven't tried that .. 

best wishes,

Graham,
I don't think that is what he was referring to.   Perhaps if we had a more complete example

Thanks for the answers. I guess that was the problem indeed, because if I type temp=camposacado[0] and make the routine work with temp, it works as it was supposed.
