Hi all,

Just a general question as i explore refactoring some of my long code into smaller effiecient handlers i can call again. Am i right in thinking that only a function can return a value?

Thanks
Jalz

Hi Jaz,

no Sir!

A handler can also return a value, but you have to retrieve THE RESULT

Example:

Code: Select all

command anyhanlder
  ...
  dothat
  put the result into tReturnedValue
  ## Do somehting with that variable
end anyhandler

command dothat
  ## do something here and output the result
  ## Cheap-o example:
  put 10*20 into tResult
  RETURN tResult
end dothat

Hope that helps!

Best

Klaus
