Hi Sergey
Actually, in this instance it always was as it was part of my class.
The real problem was that my code was in the wrong class.
I have now fixed (encapulated) my code to make passing by reference unnecessary.
Thanks to all for your help
Regards
Geoff Scott

With PRIVATE loObj it works but uncommenting LOCAL loObj'll generate an error because loObj isn't in the scope in the myfunc function.
