Hi Craig,

Yes, for some reason EXTERNAL ARRAY does not seem to work - if you read the help file notes, one of the two examples seems wrong as it puts the EXTERNAL ARRAY in the calling program, not the called program; here is their code:

DIMENSION gaArrayOne(2) && Create an array
EXTERNAL ARRAY gaArrayTwo && Name of the array used in the UDF
SET TALK OFF
STORE 10 TO gaArrayOne(1)
STORE 2 TO gaArrayOne(2)
= ADDTWO(@gaArrayOne) && Pass the array by reference to a UDF
FUNCTION ADDTWO
PARAMETER gaArrayTwo
CLEAR
gaArrayTwo(1) = gaArrayTwo(1) + 2
gaArrayTwo(2) = gaArrayTwo(2) + 2
? gaArrayTwo(1)
? gaArrayTwo(2)

Anyhow, easier to just do the fake-out program in my main calling program.

Albert
