Hi All,

Is this ok to do:

+ Code Snippet

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Do
GoSub Do_Something
Loop
/////SubRoutines/////////////////////////////////////////////

Do_Something:

If, While ,etc......
    call_a_Function() ` I need this variable
EndIf............
Return

///////Functions/////////////////////////////////////////////

Function Call_a_Function()
If, While ,etc......
    call_a_Different_Function() ` I need this variable
EndIf............
End Function variable_x

Function call_a_Different_Function()
If, While ,etc......
    //
EndIf............
End Function variable_x

Calling a function from a subroutine, call a function from within a function.
What about passing a variable to the function from within the function?

put this in your code snippets, code lang = dbp

Just fine

If you mean passing a value back from call_a_Different_Function, than yes, that will also work

Thanks BMacZero.

If I call a function from a function,

+ Code Snippet

a=something
b=something
c=something
d=something
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Do
GoSub Do_Something
Loop
/////SubRoutines/////////////////////////////////////////////

Do_Something:

If, While ,etc......
    call_a_Function(a,b) ` I need this variable
EndIf............
Return

///////Functions/////////////////////////////////////////////

Function Call_a_Function(a,b)
If, While ,etc......
    call_a_Different_Function(c,d) ` I need this variable
EndIf............
EndFunction variable_e

Function call_a_Different_Function(c,d)
If, While ,etc......
    //
EndIf............
EndFunction variable_f

So call_a_Different_Function(c,d), will have no problem "seeing" variables c and d, from "inside" Call_a_Function(a,b)?

Right, since you're passing c and d from Call_a_Function, call_a_Different_Function will see the same values for c and d.
