How can you create a user defined type and then pass it as a parameter into a function. EG.



I have tried all sorts of ways but i cant get the function to return 300 which it should. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, you can't pass UDT's to functions (which needs solving).

And at the moment, there could be a problem accessing global UDT's from functions.

And return is a reserved keyword by the way

Yeah, MrTAToad is right. You can't pass UDT's into functions. However, UDT's are global so you should be able to manipulate them inside a function, you just can't pass them into a function or return them.

There seems to be a problem modifying them in a function too..

use an array and it also helps to manage media numbers by storing it in a name(int).NUM

yes, but you cant seem to reliably do anything with types in functions.

Has anybody addressed this? I'm at work and I left my disk at home, so I can't go back to patch 2 till I get home which means I actually have to work now. Dammit! I'm going to be productive at my job and it's all your fault!

I knew you could not do this in the original but in the version 2 patch log it said under usage limitations that it was not possible to pass UDT to functions however in the version 3 log it dosent say you cant so i assumed that you now can.
