Hello,

I'm having a problem trying to figure out how to reference objects and object arrays when you are using variables instead of actual names. For example, consider the following procedure. In this situation, I need to (1) check to see if an object exists, and then (2) generate this object if it doesn't exist, and (3) run a procedure using an array that is a property of the newly created object. I'm not sure how to reference the array using a variable, or how to pass the array as reference, since @ doesn't work here. I am only getting the first element of the array.

PROC MYPROC

lParameter lcObjectClass
Local loObject, loArray
loOption = "o" + lcObjectClass


* Check to see if object exists

IF (TYPE("THIS." + loObject + ".array") = "U")
THIS.AddObject(loObject, lcObjectClass)
ENDIF

* Get array reference (is there a better way to do this? This works but seems a little clumsy.)

loArray = "Session." + loObject + ".array"
loArray = Evaluate(@loArray)


This.DoSomething(@loArray) && this does not work, array does not pass by reference

ENDPROC

Thanks for any tips,

Linda Swift
