>Is it possible to return an array from a function? I have run a few tests that don't seem to be working unless I am missing something. I have a test function that returns an array with 10 elements each element is numbered 1 through 10. And then each element of the local array that is assigned the value from the test function is assigned the value of 1, or whatever value the first element of the array in the function is, rather than the values 1 through 10.

Hi Paul,
If you are using 3.0 or 5.0, instead of passing the array, you
should pass a reference to an object that has an array property,
and then change that property as you wish in your function.
Example:

M.MyObject=CREATEOBJECT("MyCustomClass")
DIMENSION MyObject.MyPropertyArray(10)

DO MyFunction WITH MyObject

FOR m.Ncounter=1 TO 10
?MyObject.MyPropertyArray(m.ncounter)
ENDFOR


********************
PROCEDURE MyFunction
********************
LPARAMETER ObjName
LOCAL m.nCounter

FOR m.nCounter=1 TO 10
ObjName.MyPropertyArray(m.ncounter)=m.nCounter
ENDFOR


DEFINE CLASS MyCustomClass AS CUSTOM
DIMENSION myPropertyArray(1)
ENDDEFINE


If you are using any other version like 2.6, all you neeD is pass
array by reference.
Example: DO MyFunction WITH @MyArray

Hope this helps.
