Rob,

Since a global object or variable is required, anything along the lines of

IF gOWhatever.Mark1 OR gOWhatever.Mark2
* Call the function
ENDIF

Or use an array with:

IF ASCAN(a_marks, .T.) # 0
* Call the function
ENDIF

Should work fine.

However, I would call such a routine only after the call to change the state of the variable. In this way the variable always represents the most recent status.
