An alternative could be:
loName = split_name(Schedule.s_Pat_Name)
NewFirstName = loName.FirstName
NewMidName = loName.MiddleName
NewLastName = loName.LastName
FUNCTION split_name
LPARAMETERS tcName
(Other stuff going on here)
loSplitName = CreateObject('Empty')
addproperty(loSplitName, 'FirstName', SomeNewValueForFirstName)
addproperty(loSplitName, 'MiddleName', SomeNewValueForMiddleName)
addproperty(loSplitName, 'LastName', SomeNewValueForLastName)
RETURN loSplitName>The values of these variable are populated in the Split_Name function, but they still are empty after the function runs. I must be not using the reference correctly.
